An open-source project demo of ECS Exec to access your containers on AWS Fargate by using AWS-CDK

This is a CDK project written in TypeScript that shows implementation of ECS Exec to access your containers on AWS Fargate by using AWS-CDK. This project provisions a nginx web server with a read-only root file system on an ECS Fargate Cluster using bind mounts and running in a VPC with Public Subnets and associated IAM Roles/Policies, Security Groups, Route Tables, Internet Gateway and an Application Load Balancer. ECS Exec is implemented by enforcing the Security Hub best practices with read-only root file system in ECS with bind mounts in the CDK code.

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.
