Docker Compose’s integration for ECS and ACI is retiring in November 2023.

Hello

I'm researching the way using docker compose on ecs fagate to deploy blue/green..

I found those writings

• https://aws.amazon.com/ko/blogs/containers/deploy-applications-on-amazon-ecs-using-docker-compose/
• https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-compose-for-amazon-ecs-now-available/
• https://docs.docker.com/cloud/ecs-integration/

but I also found this Docker Compose’s integration for ECS and ACI is retiring in November 2023.

After November 2023 there will be no way to use docker compose on ecs?

It's just about not supporting updates or never use?

Try out ECS Compose-x and let me know

What about Azure ? currently when i want to deploy a docker-compose file i get the error: Docker Compose's integration for ECS and ACI will be retired in November 2023. Learn more: https://docs.docker.com/go/compose-ecs-eol/

But it does not give me an alternative for ACI, as i'm trying to deploy a container to ACI

This looks like an alternative i.e. Azure CLI should work with the integration.

It's a bit of a pain, but i switched over to Terraform. Sadly i gave to convert my docker-compose files to Terraform container code, but if it's configured correctly it works pretty nicely.

Using the Azure CLI would also be a PITA as we strictly build CI/CD in our datacenters so using Terraform makes it intergrate perfectly for our container deployments.

You are correct - the compose file makes the integration an alternative to a template rather than a CLI.

I was in the same spot considering using it and found the EOL, the problem is the the why? the post of why it is not avaliable anymore? so any news?

[Willmish]

Are there any alternative integrations planned to replace this?

What about AWS Copilot (Command line interface for containerized applications)? It seems that AWS copilot could import a docker compose file (see issue)? The AWS Copilot documentation seems to use DockerFile: https://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/en/docs/manifest/backend-service/#image

Is someone tried it?

Check out ecs-compose-x Takes no need to rewrite compose file

[DeflateAwning]

Is there any tutorial out there on how to change this part of an AWS CloudFormation? The guidance given after this deprecation (which just started today) is really poor.

docker context create ecs $ENVIRONMENT_NAME --from-env
docker context use $ENVIRONMENT_NAME
docker compose -f docker-compose.base.yml -f docker-compose.$ENVIRONMENT_NAME.yml --project-name $ECS_CLUSTER_NAME convert > cloudformation.yml

Azure CLI unnecessarily makes things more difficult and obscure. They don't have proper support for docker compose and network. Highly disappointed.
