About This Architecture

GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline orchestrates automated builds, tests, and blue-green deployments to AWS ECS clusters using CodeDeploy for zero-downtime releases. Developer commits trigger GitHub Actions workflows that build Docker images, push to ECR, run unit and integration tests, and conditionally deploy to staging and production ECS clusters. Traffic shifts through Application Load Balancers with CloudWatch monitoring enable safe canary validation before production approval and automated rollback on failure. This architecture demonstrates GitOps best practices with IAM role-based access, secrets management via Secrets Manager, and audit trails through CloudTrail for compliance and observability.

How do I set up a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline with blue-green deployments on AWS ECS?

This diagram shows a complete GitHub Actions workflow that builds Docker images to ECR, runs tests, deploys to ECS staging via CodeDeploy, monitors with CloudWatch, and shifts production traffic using blue-green deployment. Approval gates between staging and production enable safe validation, while automated rollback on CloudWatch alerts ensures reliability.
