- Built-in advanced deployment strategies for ECS in European Sovereign Cloud
Amazon ECS now supports blue/green, linear, and canary deployment strategies directly within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. These strategies offer production-ready controls like deployment lifecycle hooks, bake time, and quick rollback, reducing the need for custom tooling.
Enhancements (2) ›
- Deployment lifecycle hooks and rollback options
Users can leverage deployment lifecycle hooks, including Lambda and pause hooks, for custom validation and approval workflows. Bake time allows for post-traffic shift evaluation, and automatic rollback is supported via CloudWatch alarms, ECS deployment circuit breaker, or the StopServiceDeployment API.
- Compatibility with load balancers and configuration methods
These advanced deployment strategies are compatible with Amazon ECS services utilizing Application Load Balancers (ALB), Network Load Balancers (NLB), and Amazon ECS Service Connect. Configuration can be managed through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or infrastructure-as-code tools.
