copilot-cli: Release v1.8.0

⚡️ Features and enhancements

• Support friendly domain names for Load Balanced Web Services with the new http.alias field (#2379)

  If you initialized an application with a domain: copilot app init --domain, now you can specify a friendly URL instead of the default endpoint generated by Copilot using the manifest:

   http:
     alias: 'api.example.com'

  To learn more check out the docs! Older applications will need to run copilot app upgrade first.

• Add a tasks summary and stopped task section to copilot svc status to help troubleshoot services (#2381)

  The new task summary section displays stats on deployments, target group health, and capacity providers.

• Support container dependencies (#2421)

  You can now add a dependency condition for your containers:

   depends_on:
      nginx: HEALTHY

• Allow importing a VPC with no public subnets when running copilot env init (#2356)

  If you'd like to launch ECS services in environments with no internet access, now you can import a VPC with no public subnets and launch your services with placement: 'private'. For a sample VPC template with VPC endpoints that can be imported see #2378.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Allow environment overrides for the image.build field in manifests (#2415)
• Reduce number of log lines written during deployments when the environment variable CI=true (#2440)
• The test_commands field in pipeline manifests now works with environments with dashes in their name (#2439)
• Skip docker login when ECR credentials helper is enabled (#2365)
• Parse the cloned Bitbucket URL correctly when filling the pipeline manifest (#2400)

copilot-cli: Release v1.7.0

⚡️ Features and enhancements

• Add a new service pattern: "Request-Driven Web Service" to launch services using AWS App Runner (#2340)

  Copilot now supports launching services with AWS App Runner as an alternative to "Load Balanced Web Services".
  AWS App Runner scales up your services based on incoming traffic and scales down to a baseline instance when there's no traffic.
  To learn more: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/introducing-aws-app-runner/

• Add copilot secret init command to simplify adding secrets to your application (#2335)
• Add new flag copilot task run --generate-cmd to populate the command from an existing service or job (#2201)

  With the --generate-cmd flag you can spin a one-off task from an existing service and override its entrypoint or command easily.

• Support CodeBuild test reports for pipelines (#2306)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Provide better error messaging when an addon stack fails to create or update (#2270)
• Upload pipeline CloudFormation template to S3 before deploying the stack to prevent template size limit (#2243)
• Allow app show and env delete to run outside of your workspace (#2269)

copilot-cli: Release v1.6.0

⚡️ Features and enhancements

• Support extensible ephemeral task storage (#2219)

  Previously, Fargate tasks were limited to 20GiB of storage space. Now, you can provision up to 200GiB of ephemeral task storage for workloads with large datasets or heavy ephemeral storage requirements.

  storage:
    ephemeral: 100 // Size in GiB

  This storage is shareable between containers and sidecars in the same task definition.

• Add managed EFS volume support (#2137)

  You can now specify efs: true in volume configuration and Copilot will provision an EFS volume which all services can share.

  storage:
    volumes:
      managedEFSVolume:
        path: /var/efs
        read_only: false
        efs: true

  You can also specify a custom UID and GID for the created access point:

  efs:
    uid: 10000
    gid: 100000

• Enable Fargate Spot in autoscaling config (#2188)

  You can now specify autoscaling and count configurations which include Fargate Spot capacity! For example, you can specify that you want all your capacity to be placed on spot:

  count:
    spot: 2

  Or, when you specify an autoscaling range, you can specify the spot_from field, which tells Copilot the threshold at which you want your service to start scaling into Spot capacity:

  count:
    range:
      min: 2
      max: 10
      spot_from: 4

  In this example, your service will place 3 tasks on dedicated Fargate capacity. Copilot will attempt to place all tasks above this threshold on Spot capacity.

• Add --secrets and --cluster flags to copilot task run (#2163, #2164)
• Allow use of specific Codebuild images in pipelines (#2125)

  //pipeline.yml
  build:
    image: aws/codebuild/standard:3.0

• Display AWS resources as architecture hints next to patterns (#2179)
• Add labels field to allow runtime labels on containers and sidecars (#2186)

  image:
    build: ./Dockerfile
    labels:
      com.amazonaws.ecs.copilot.description: Hello world!
  sidecars:
    myCoolSidecar:
      image: public.ecr.aws/my-image:abcde
      labels:
        com.amazonaws.ecs.copilot.sidecar.description: cool sidecar

• Use image digest instead of commit id when deploying (#2196)

  Now you don't have to create a new commit to ensure that your service is deployed whenever you make a code change. This also streamlines workflows in directories which are not Git repositories, as we no longer require you to enter a tag on deployment.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Clean up several minor bugs in copilot pipeline status (#2170)
• Select from SSM when deleting services to allow selection of services not in local workspace (#2182)
• Create dedicated KMS keys for Aurora addons to resolve an issue with cross-account decrypt permissions (#2207)
• Bump version of Lambda runtimes to Node.js 12 from Node.js 10 (#2237)

• Add Aurora Serverless database support to copilot storage init (#2129)

  You can now easily generate an addon for a PostgreSQL or MySQL database associated with your service using a single command.

• Support NAT Gateways for workloads with placement: private (#2111)

  If you launch tasks in 'private' subnets and use a Copilot-generated VPC, Copilot will add NAT Gateways to your environment.

  network:
   vpc:
     placement: 'private'

• Enable specifying volumes with only a path field so that sidecar containers and the service container can share storage

  storage:
     volumes:
       scratch:
          path: /var/scratch
  sidecars:
    downloader:
      mount_points:
        - path: /var/scratch
          source_volume: scratch
  

• Allow sidecar containers to be marked as non-essential (#2099)

  sidecars:
    nonessentialSidecar:
      essential: false

• Enables running the Docker daemon by default in the test_commands CodeBuild project of a pipeline (#2097)

  To enable this feature with an existing pipeline, please run copilot pipeline update.

• Allow using an existing AWS CodeStar connection in your pipeline.yml manifests (#2073)

  properties:
      branch: main
      repository: https://github.com/user/sample-repository
      connection_name: a-connection # Optional: specify the name of an existing CodeStar Connections connection.

• Add a boolean --yes flag to copilot svc exec and copilot task exec to skip installing the SSM plugin (#2060)

• Copilot now uses AWS CodeStar Connections to trigger your pipeline from a GitHub repository instead of OAuth tokens (#2019)

  This feature does not affect existing pipelines. Only new pipelines created with copilot pipeline init will create an AWS CodeStar Connection.

• Add --entrypoint flag to copilot task run to override the default entrypoint (#2017)

• Add command and entrypoint fields to the manifests to override defaults in your service or job image (#1999)

  command: 'bundle exec thin -p 3000'
  entrypoint: '/app/start.sh'

  AWS Copilot now supports a new storage field in manifests to share an existing EFS filesystem between services. To learn more check out the developing/storage guide.

  storage:
    volumes:
      fs: 
         path: '/etc/mount1'
         efs:
            id: fs-1234567 

• Support Bitbucket repositories for pipeline triggers (#1944)

  You can now run pipeline init and choose your Bitbucket repository to trigger your pipeline. 🎉

• Enable deploying to private subnets and specifying additional security groups (#1979)

copilot-cli: Release v1.1.0

🐛 Bug Fixes

• The generated buildspec.yml for pipelines now only upgrade environments that are part of your pipeline (#1826)
