ECS Fargate — Production Patterns

AWSFargateECSProduction 5 min read

Fargate autoscaling, EFS volumes, blue-green deploy and pricing.

Service Autoscaling

resource "aws_appautoscaling_policy" "cpu" {
  name               = "cpu-scaling"
  policy_type        = "TargetTrackingScaling"
  target_tracking_scaling_policy_configuration {
    target_value = 70.0
    predefined_metric_specification {
      predefined_metric_type = "ECSServiceAverageCPUUtilization"
    }
  }
}

EFS pro shared storage

EFS volume in task definition for shared state between containers. Transit encryption + IAM auth.

Blue-Green with CodeDeploy

  • Canary (10 % → 100 %), Linear, All-at-once
  • Auto rollback on alarm trigger
  • Pre/post-traffic Lambda hooks

Summary

Fargate for production = autoscaling + EFS + CodeDeploy. Higher cost, but zero node management.
