The ECS-ECR container app tutorial is broken and has many issues: https://docs.localstack.cloud/tutorials/ecs-ecr-container-app/
We should either fix or remove it.
Motivation
- Initially reported by a pro customer
- Previously discussed in a prior update (May 2023) to this app: #628 (comment)
- The LocalStack issue has been fixed in localstack/localstack#8970
- The app didn't work for me back in May 2023
- I retested (2023-10-17) and the tutorial and it still doesn't work for me.
- The CloudFormation stack fails to deploy with a validation error
An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the CreateTargetGroup operation: A VPC ID must be specified
- The CloudFormation stack fails to deploy with a validation error
Further suggestions for improvement
- Use concrete naming suggestions instead of placeholders that need to be changed for no reason
- Avoid using naming collisions for
<STACK_NAME>being used twice in different context - Copy/pasting long blobs of partial files and then making them fit together is very cumbersome
- Consider providing a minimal example or use a repository to bootstrap the tutorial. The CloudFormation template is unnecessarily complex for the intended demonstration purpose
