I think just having gitlab-ci.yml template added for AWS (deploy to EC2, ECS, Fargate) would suffice in the short term. We can even use the tool we suggest in our documentation.

I feel that most customers would like to understand our best practices and documentation around how to best deploy using our product and what's needed to be successful. Adding into AutoDevops functionality would be most awesome, but that may be a different issue.

Proposal

Create a gitlab-ci.yml template for deploying to AWS EC2 using Using Dpl as deployment tool

Actions needed to be done

• Create gitlab-ci.yml template
• Create documentation on how to use the template

We can later expand on this and add deploying to ECS, Fargate.

Permissions and Security

Documentation

Availability & Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?
