Documentation
aws-ecs-fargate-service
Full Fargate stack: cluster, task definition, service with ALB integration,
autoscaling, and Cloud Map discovery. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu
(>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
What you get (and why it is worth paying for):
- The container definition is built from typed variables and
jsonencoded once — no hand-rolled JSON, no task-definition drift between plans - Private networking by default (no public IP), scoped security group using modern standalone rule resources, all-egress only where required
- Least-privilege IAM: execution role gets secret-read access to exactly the ARNs you inject; separate task role for application permissions
- Deployment circuit breaker with automatic rollback
- Target-tracking autoscaling (CPU and/or memory) with
desired_counthanded over to the scaler after first deploy (ignore_changes) - Optional Cloud Map (A records) for east-west discovery
- Container Insights + retention-managed, optionally KMS-encrypted logs
Requirements
- Terraform or OpenTofu
>= 1.6 - AWS provider
>= 6.0, < 7.0 - An existing VPC + subnets; an existing ALB target group if you set
load_balancer(pair with theaws-albmodule); an existing Cloud Map private DNS namespace if you setservice_discovery

Related modules
aws-app-runner
auto_deployments takes every push to the image tag straight to production with no review, which quietly makes the deployment gate "who can push". Off by default, egress routed through your VPC, and the pull role kept separate from the run role.
aws-amplify-app
Every branch build is served at a public amplifyapp.com URL, and basic auth, the switch that puts a password on it, is off; auto branch creation builds every branch anyone pushes; the repository token lands in state; and environment variables are plaintext. Basic auth on every non-production branch (public by name), auto creation off, exactly one production branch, the custom domain attached.
aws-lambda
Lambda with execution role, log group, triggers, aliases, and zip/container packaging handled.
aws-step-functions
A Step Functions state machine (STANDARD or EXPRESS) with a least-privilege execution role, a managed CloudWatch log group, X-Ray tracing, and encryption at rest - working out of the box from a single name.
ibm-code-engine-app
A Code Engine project and application with managed_domain_mappings local_private, because the field defaults to local_public and an application deployed with no opinion about it answers the world. scale_min_instances is one rather than zero, run_as_user is not root, and a private image without its pull secret is refused - that failure otherwise arrives long after the apply.
oci-container-instances
A container with no health check is restarted only when its process exits, so a deadlocked one stays; containers run as root unless the security context says otherwise; and a public IP on the instance is an internet-facing container with only an NSG in front. Every container gets a check that restarts it and runs non-root on a read-only filesystem; the instance stays private.
