Automate ecs CF template to use latest ecs optimized AMI #173

Closed iant01 closed 5 years ago

iant01 commented 6 years ago

AWS is now placing the ID of the latest ecs AMI image into ssm parameter store so that its easier to update bt having scripts/templates check there to get their AMI ID rather than hard coding it in.

Using that setup, the block of code that maps the AMI ID for each region can be removed as it will get the proper image for which ever region it is running in.

With this setup, the next time a stack change set is run after AWS rolls out a new AMI for ecs, the ecs instances will be upgraded to the new image buy the autoscaler as the autoscaler launch configuration will get updated with the latest AMI image ID.

Looks like current Mike finally considered this a priority despite past Mike's lack of understanding (or due to current issues getting a new copy of the infrastructure stable). Thanks Ian!
