You can also create your entire Fargate environment in a couple lines of TypeScript / Python / Java code using the AWS Cloud Development Kit. The AWS CDK is a declarative SDK that generates and deploys CloudFormation on your behalf, while offering you prebuilt patterns for many common deployment architectures: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/ecs_example.htm...

That’s cool. I never played with CDK. One issue I had with using CloudFormation was that when I built the Docker file with a tag of :latest and then ran the CF Template, CloudFormation doesn’t perform any updates because the template didn’t change.

Luckily we use CodeBuild and Octopus Deploy. I was able to use the CodeBuild build number environment variable to tag the Docker container, to specify the Octopus build number and use an Octopus Deploy variable in the CF template to force unique and consistent tags.
