AWS Copilot CLI

Build, Release and Operate Containerized Applications on AWS.

• Documentation: https://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/

The AWS Copilot CLI is a tool for developers to build, release and operate production-ready containerized applications on AWS App Runner or Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate.

Use Copilot to:

• Deploy production-ready, scalable services on AWS from a Dockerfile in one command.
• Add databases or inject secrets to your services.
• Grow from one microservice to a collection of related microservices in an application.
• Set up test and production environments, across regions and accounts.
• Set up CI/CD pipelines to release your services to your environments.
• Monitor and debug your services from your terminal.

Installation

To install with homebrew:

$ brew install aws/tap/copilot-cli

Getting started

Make sure you have the AWS command line tool installed and have already run aws configure before you start.

To get a sample app up and running in one command, run the following:

$ git clone [email protected]: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'            \
  --deploy

This will create a VPC, Application Load Balancer, an Amazon ECS Service with the sample app running on AWS Fargate. This process will take around 8 minutes to complete - at which point you'll get a URL for your sample app running! 🚀
