Creating Amazon ECS resources using AWS CloudFormation
Amazon ECS is integrated with AWS CloudFormation, a service that you can use to model and set up AWS resources with templates that you define. This way, you can spend less time creating and managing your resources and infrastructure. Using AWS CloudFormation, you can create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want, such as specific Amazon ECS clusters. Then, AWS CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you.
When you use AWS CloudFormation, you can reuse your template to set up your Amazon ECS resources in a consistent and repeatable manner. You describe your resources one time, and then provision the same resources again across multiple AWS accounts and AWS Regions.
AWS CloudFormation templates
To provision and configure resources for Amazon ECS and related services, make sure that you're familiar with AWS CloudFormation templates. AWS CloudFormation templates are text files in the JSON or YAML format that describe the resources that you want to provision in your AWS CloudFormation stacks. If you're unfamiliar with either the JSON or YAML format, or both, you can use AWS CloudFormation Designer to get started using AWS CloudFormation templates. For more information, see What is AWS CloudFormation Designer? in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
Amazon ECS supports creating clusters, task definitions, services, and task sets in AWS CloudFormation. The following examples demonstrate how to create resources with these templates using the AWS CLI. You can also create these resources using the AWS CloudFormation console. For more information about how to create resources using the AWS CloudFormation console, see the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
Example templates
Creating Amazon ECS resources using separate stacks
The following examples show how to create Amazon ECS resources by using separate stacks for each resource.
Task definitions
You can use the following template to create a Fargate Linux task.

Creating multiple Amazon ECS resources in one stack
You can use the following example template to create multiple Amazon ECS resources in
one stack. The template creates an Amazon ECS cluster that's named
CFNCluster. The cluster contains a Linux Fargate task definition
that sets up a web server. The template also creates a service that's named
cfn-service that launches and maintains the task defined by the
task definition. Before you use this template, make sure that the subnet and
security group IDs in the service's NetworkConfiguration all belong to
the same VPC and that the security group has the necessary rules. For more
information about security group rules, see Security group
rules in the Amazon VPC user guide.

Using the AWS CLI to create resources from templates
The following command creates a stack that's named ecs-stack using a
template body file that's named ecs-template-body.json. Ensure that the
template body file is in the JSON or YAML format. The location of the file is specified
in the --template-body parameter. In this case, the template body file is
located in the current directory.
aws cloudformation create-stack \ --stack-nameecs-stack\ --template-body file://ecs-template-body.json
To ensure that resources are created correctly, check the Amazon ECS console or alternatively use the following commands:
-
The following command lists all task definitions.
aws ecs list-task-definitions -
The following command lists all clusters.
aws ecs list-clusters -
The following command lists all services defined in the cluster
CFNClusterCFNClusteraws ecs list-services \ --clusterCFNCluster
