CloudFormation Hello World

Simple hello world application using CloudFormation and our new continuous integration and deployment services. This creates a simple docker image based on nginx that displays the text, "Hello World." This image is built on CodeBuild and pushed to a private ECR. If all goes well, a resulting container will be deployed to ECS behind our load balancers, first to the dev environment and then to prod. Deployment to prod requires manual approval.

Local Build

To build the container locally, just run the following command:

docker build -t cfn-hello-world .

Then to run it, do:

docker run --rm -it -p 80:80 cfn-hello-world

Visit http://localhost and you should see "Hello World" display in your browser!
