Deploying a sample Amazon ECS application using the Amazon Copilot CLI

After installing the Amazon 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 Amazon CLI. For more information, see Amazon Command Line Interface.

  • Run aws configure to set up a default profile that the Amazon 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 Amazon Copilot init and its flags, see the Amazon 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 Amazon 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 Amazon 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.

    copilot app delete
