Deploying a sample Amazon ECS application using the AWS Copilot CLI

After installing the AWS Copilot CLI, you can follow these steps to deploy a sample app, verify the deployment, and clean up resources.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • Install and configure the AWS CLI. For more information, see AWS Command Line Interface.

  • Run aws configure to set up a default profile that the AWS Copilot CLI will use to manage your application and services.

  • Install and run Docker. For more information, see Get started with Docker.

Deploy a sample Amazon ECS application using a single command

  1. Deploy a sample web application that is cloned from a GitHub repository using the following command. For more information about AWS Copilot init and its flags, see the AWS Copilot documentation.

    git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-copilot-sample-service.git demo-app && \ 
cd demo-app &&                               \
copilot init --app demo                      \
  --name api                                 \
  --type 'Load Balanced Web Service'         \
  --dockerfile './Dockerfile'                \
  --port 80                                  \
  --deploy

  2. After the deployment is complete, the AWS Copilot CLI will return a URL that you can use to verify the deployment. You can also use the following commands to verify the app's status.

    • List all of your AWS Copilot applications.

      copilot app ls

    • Show information about the environments and services in your application.

      copilot app show

    • Show information about your environments.

      copilot env ls

    • Show information about the service, including endpoints, capacity and related resources.

      copilot svc show

    • List of all the services in an application.

      copilot svc ls

    • Show logs of a deployed service.

      copilot svc logs

    • Show service status.

      copilot svc status

  3. When you're finished with this demo, run the following command to clean up associated resources and avoid incurring charges for unused resources.
