Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# AWS CloudFormation ECS

## Overview

Provides CloudFormation patterns for ECS clusters, task definitions, services, container definitions, auto scaling, blue/green deployments, ALB integration, monitoring, and cross-stack references.

## When to Use

- Creating or updating ECS clusters with CloudFormation
- Configuring Fargate/EC2 launch types and capacity providers
- Deploying services with ALB/NLB integration or blue/green deployments
- Implementing auto scaling for ECS services
- Setting up monitoring with Container Insights

## Instructions

Follow these steps to create ECS infrastructure with CloudFormation:

### 1. Define ECS Cluster Parameters

Specify launch type, networking, and capacity settings:

```yaml
Parameters:
  LaunchType:
    Type: String
    Default: FARGATE
    AllowedValues:
      - EC2
      - FARGATE
    Description: ECS launch type

  ContainerPort:
    Type: Number
    Default: 80
    Description: Container port

  TaskCPU:
    Type: String
    Default: 256
    AllowedValues:
      - 256
      - 512
      - 1024
      - 2048
      - 4096
    Description: Task CPU units

  TaskMemory:
    Type: String
    Default: 512
    AllowedValues:
      - 512

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/aws-cloudformation-ecs@sha256:ee4c2d4713425598

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.a02e282, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
