CI/CD Container Deployment — AWS Architecture Template
Event-triggered build runners produce artifacts to S3 and a deploy function rolls them onto ECS with notifications at every stage.
Why this architecture works
- Every deployment flows through the same pipeline — no SSH-and-copy hotfixes that drift from source
- Versioned, immutable artifacts in S3 make rollback a pointer change instead of a rebuild
- A dedicated deploy role is the only principal allowed to update the service, keeping humans out of prod
- EventBridge triggering means builds start on push events, giving fast feedback to developers
- SNS notifications and deployment alarms surface failed rollouts before customers find them
