dotnet-aws-ecs SKILL.md skillA

dotnet-aws-ecs from aws-samples/sample-apex-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aws-samples/sample-apex-skills/dotnet-aws-ecs@git:20260824.4e0f2dc

Pins git:20260824.4e0f2dc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generates IaC (CloudFormation or CDK) and a deployment guide to deploy a .NET workload to Amazon ECS Fargate on Linux containers with an Application Load Balancer. Produces a VPC, ECS cluster, task definition, ALB, and auto-scaling. NOT for Windows containers, EC2 launch type, or Kubernetes/EKS deployments.

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.

What the file says

# Deploy .NET Workload to AWS ECS Fargate

## When to Use This Skill

**Use this skill when:**
- A .NET application (Web API, ASP.NET Core MVC/Razor, Blazor Server) is running locally and ready for cloud deployment
- The developer wants to deploy to ECS Fargate (serverless containers) on AWS
- The developer wants IaC that provisions everything in a single stack

**Do NOT use this skill for:**
- Applications that aren't yet running locally
- Windows container deployments
- EC2 launch type deployments
- Kubernetes/EKS deployments
- Serverless (Lambda) deployments

## Objective

Produce IaC (CloudFormation or CDK — user chooses) and a step-by-step deployment guide. The output provisions:

- VPC with public and private subnets (2 AZs) — **or** uses an existing VPC and subnets provided by the user
- Application Load Balancer (internet-facing or internal)
- ECS Cluster with Fargate service (2 tasks)
- ECR repository for the container image
- IAM roles (task execution + task role)
- Auto-scaling (CPU-based target tracking)
- CloudWatch log group

Keep it focused on compute and networking. No databases, caches, or auth services.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aws-samples/sample-apex-skills/dotnet-aws-ecs@sha256:a318214eeb6f7a95

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.4e0f2dc, 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.
