Creating Amazon ECS resources using the AWS Copilot command line interface

Focus mode
Creating Amazon ECS resources using the AWS Copilot command line interface - Amazon Elastic Container Service

The AWS Copilot command line interface (CLI) commands simplify building, releasing, and operating production-ready containerized applications on Amazon ECS from a local development environment. The AWS Copilot CLI aligns with developer workflows that support modern application best practices: from using infrastructure as code to creating a CI/CD pipeline provisioned on behalf of a user. Use the AWS Copilot CLI as part of your everyday development and testing cycle as an alternative to the AWS Management Console.

AWS Copilot currently supports Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. For more information about the latest version of the AWS Copilot CLI, see Releases.

Note

The source code for the AWS Copilot CLI is available on GitHub. We recommend that you submit issues and pull requests for changes that you would like to have included. However, Amazon Web Services doesn't currently support running modified copies of AWS Copilot code. Report issues with AWS Copilot by connecting with us on Gitter or GitHub where you can open issues, provide feedback, and report bugs.

Additional documentation for the AWS Copilot CLI is available on the AWS Copilot website
