The getting started guide for AWS Copilot helps you deploy your first simple static website container on Fargate

Which compute capacity makes more sense for your workload: serverless AWS Fargate, or EC2 instances?

If you pick EC2 capacity learn about and and consider as the

The easiest starting experience for launching your local container on Fargate. This commandline tool helps you build and deploy your application, as well as deploy CI/CD pipelines that automatically rebuild and redeploy your application on Git push. It creates infrastructure as code templates for you behind the scenes

AWS CDK is an SDK that lets developers define and deploy AWS infrastructure using familiar programming languages, often the same language that the application itself is coded in. CDK creates CloudFormation automatically behind the scenes

This module provides simple low level constructs for creating ECS and Fargate services. It gets about 100k downloads per week on NPM, so it is quite popular as a choice

A more beginner friendly interface to CDK. These patterns help you setup simple things like a "load balanced service" or a "scheduled task"

This CDK module provides the most extendable interface for ECS services. It lets you deploy an ECS service and then optionally attach extensions to it, which do things like add the service to a service mesh, or add an observability sidecar, etc. Read more about

CloudFormation

You can choose to write CloudFormation templates to describe your deployment directly, in which case these sample templates will help. Check out
