## What it is
AWS Copilot CLI is an open-source command-line tool for developers to build, release, and operate production-ready containerized applications on AWS App Runner, Amazon ECS, and AWS Fargate. It generates infrastructure from common architecture patterns, manages environments, and sets up CI/CD pipelines from a Dockerfile.

## Use cases
- deploy a containerized service to AWS from a Dockerfile in one command
- set up test and production environments across AWS accounts and regions
- create CI/CD pipelines to release services to environments
- add databases or inject secrets into containerized services
- monitor and debug ECS services from the terminal
- grow from one microservice to a collection of related microservices

## When to choose
- you are already invested in Copilot and need to operate existing deployments until end-of-support
- you want opinionated, best-practice ECS/Fargate deployments with minimal configuration

## When to avoid
- starting a new project, since the tool reaches end-of-support on June 12, 2026 and will receive no updates or security patches
- you need long-term supported tooling or custom infrastructure beyond Copilot's architecture patterns
