AWS Introduces Built-in Blue-Green Deployment Capability for ECS
Briefly

Amazon Web Services has introduced a blue/green deployment feature for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), enabling development teams to deploy containerized applications while allowing rapid rollbacks in case of issues. This feature simplifies previous processes that required AWS CodeDeploy, helping teams to innovate by reducing the need to create and maintain complex deployment tools. Blue/green deployment uses two identical environments, directing traffic to a newly created 'green' environment after thorough testing. This new capability supports efficient workflow and minimizes user disruption during application updates.
Amazon Web Services launched a built-in blue/green deployment feature for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), enabling safe deployment of containerized applications with easy rollbacks.
This new feature eliminates the need for AWS CodeDeploy workarounds, allowing teams to focus on innovation rather than maintaining complex deployment tools.
Blue/green deployment allows teams to maintain two identical production environments, minimizing user disruption and facilitating a seamless rollback to previous versions when necessary.
Previously, AWS customers had to configure blue/green deployment with CodeDeploy's complexity, which included creating separate applications and managing IAM roles.
