Deploying containers on AWS is powerful, but combining security, automation, and zero-downtime releases can be challenging. In this talk, I’ll share how I built a secure and resilient CI/CD pipeline using Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Amazon ECS to manage containerized applications with a blue-green deployment strategy.

Attendees will learn:
- How to use Terraform to provision ECS resources securely (VPC, subnets, IAM, task roles, and ALB)
- Best practices for hosting Docker containers in Amazon ECS with a focus on security and isolation
- Building a robust CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions, including workflow structure, secrets management, and deployment logic
- Implementing blue-green deployments with ECS and how to manage traffic shifts safely using AWS CodeDeploy

Real lessons learned: what worked, what didn’t, and how I handled issues in production.

This session is great for developers and DevOps engineers who want to improve their deployment workflows confidently and ship while keeping things secure and infrastructure-as-code driven.
