We are pleased to announce the general availability of https://www.consul.io/ service mesh on https://aws.amazon.com/ecs/ (ECS). Amazon ECS users can now run Consul service mesh in their production environments.

Since the beta release, the team has focused on making Consul on ECS production-ready through improvements to health checking, zero-downtime startup and shutdown, and more, including: ECS health check syncing: Consul on ECS now supports syncing https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task_definition_parameters.html#container_definition_healthcheck to Consul.

The https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aws-quickstart/ecs-consul-mesh-extension allows CDK users to deploy Consul and makes it easy to add existing ECS tasks into the service mesh.

At noon PT on Wednesday, November 17, watch the AWS-hosted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agkIx4k2tUk talk on deploying Consul as service mesh on Amazon ECS.
