CI/CD Pipeline with GitHub Actions, AWS ECR, and ECS

Overview

This repository contains a CI/CD pipeline setup for automating the deployment of a Dockerized application to AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) using GitHub Actions. The pipeline builds a Docker image, pushes it to AWS ECR (Elastic Container Registry), and deploys the updated service to ECS.

Developer --> GitHub --> GitHub Actions --> ECR --> ECS | | | Client ------------------> GitHub ECS

Explanation:

• Developer: Pushes code changes to the GitHub repository.
• GitHub: Hosts the source code.
• GitHub Actions: Automates the build, push, and deployment process.
• ECR: Stores the Docker images.
• ECS: Runs the application as a containerized service.
• Client: Accesses the deployed application via ECS.
