Deploying a test application on ECS
It’s always fun to see what we’ve learned in action. Based on what we have explored so far, let’s get our hands dirty by deploying a test application on Amazon ECS. This time, we’ll create a new application that you can also use and customize beyond the scope of this chapter, as per your personal preferences – a To-Do List Manager.
