GitHub Actions CI/CD to AWS ECS Blue-Green

About This Architecture

GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline orchestrates automated builds, tests, and blue-green deployments to AWS ECS across multi-AZ infrastructure with Route 53, CloudFront, WAF, and Shield protecting the application layer. Code commits trigger Docker image builds, unit and integration tests, and ECR pushes, then CodePipeline coordinates zero-downtime ECS task swaps between blue (active) and green (standby) environments. RDS Aurora with read replicas, ElastiCache clusters, and DynamoDB Global Tables provide resilient data persistence across availability zones. This architecture eliminates deployment downtime, enables instant rollback, and maintains high availability for production workloads. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to match your VPC topology, instance types, or add additional pipeline stages like security scanning or performance testing.

People also ask

How do I set up a zero-downtime CI/CD pipeline that deploys to AWS ECS with blue-green switching and multi-AZ redundancy?

This diagram shows a complete GitHub Actions workflow that builds Docker images, runs tests, pushes to ECR, and triggers CodePipeline to swap ECS blue and green tasks without downtime. Multi-AZ RDS Aurora, ElastiCache replicas, and DynamoDB Global Tables ensure data consistency, while Route 53, CloudFront, WAF, and Shield protect the application from the internet edge.
