For all of you who continue to close your eyes and refuse to look at reality, here is another post pointing out the work involved with “simple” setups:

A task definition defines the actual container you want to run. The problem I ran into immediately here is that this thing is insanely complicated. Lots of the options here are very straightforward, like specifying the docker image and memory limits, but I also had to define a networking model and a variety of other options that I wasn’t really familiar with. Really? If I had come into this process with absolutely no AWS knowledge I’d be incredibly overwhelmed at this stage. A full list of the parameters can be found on the AWS page, and the list is long. I knew my container needed to have some environment variables, and it needed to expose a port. So I defined that first, with the help of a fantastic terraform module which really made this easier. If I didn’t have this, I’d be hand writing JSON to define my container definition.
