Overview

 

This repo contains an action for deploying containers to AWS. It will build a docker image from a Dockerfile in the repo, push the image to Amazon ECR and the run the container via AWS AppRunner.

The repo also contains a CLI tool to setup the GitHub workflow in your repo and also setup the AWS IAM role necessary for GitHub Actions to assume via OpenID Connect.


Quickstart

To setup your application for _quinntainers_, run the following from within your application directory.

``
npx quinntainer init
`

Why?

This tool was inspired by a tweet from Corey Quinn following his experiences with Google Cloud Run. He's right - for his use case, Google Cloud Run is much easier. Therefore, the only appropriate solution is to create the 18th way to run containers on AWS 🚀
