In this assignment we deploy a simple static website made w/ hugo to ECS FARGATE using cloudformation as the orchestration tool of choice. The reason I went w/ cloudformation over terraform despite the latter's clearly superior tooling is because it's easier to set up automatic rollbacks in case of a deployment failure.

Technologies used:

• nix, the package manager
• just
• AWS cloudformation
• hugo
• docker

Some considerations:

• I assume a Route53 zone is already up and in place - setting one up is outside of the assignment's scope, imho
• only a test environment has been set up.
