## What it is
A simple shell script that initiates blue-green deployments on Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) by manipulating Task Definitions and Services via the AWS CLI. It is feature-complete and in maintenance mode, accepting only bugfixes and AWS CLI compatibility updates.

## Use cases
- deploy a new docker image tag to an ecs service
- run blue-green deployments on aws ecs from ci
- update task definition image for a container service
- automate ecs deployments in a shell pipeline
- roll out new container versions with health checks and timeout
- clean up old task definition revisions after deploy

## When to choose
- you deploy containerized services to AWS ECS and want a lightweight script instead of a full pipeline tool
- you need simple image-tag-based blue-green deployments driven from CI or the command line
- you want to control min/max healthy task percentages and deployment timeouts

## When to avoid
- you use Kubernetes or another orchestrator instead of ECS
- you need advanced deployment strategies like canary or linear rollouts
- you want an actively developed tool with new features
