Question:
I am trying to write a cloud-formation template for AWS ECS with blue green deployment support. This blue-green feature was added recently by AWS in ECS and couldn’t find any reference for updating it in cloud-formation template. They have given documentation on, how to do it through UI but not through cloud-formation. I guess, AWS might not updated their cloud-formation documentation as it is a new feature. Any help to find the documentation would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance.
Answer:
Support for blue/green deployment in CloudFormation has been added. It can be found here in the documentation:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ecs-service-deploymentcontroller.html
In the “Type” property you can choose “CODE_DEPLOY” as the deployment type. Hope this helps!
