Secure Container Deployment on ECS Fargate
In this lab, you will deploy a secure, containerized web application on Amazon ECS Fargate. You will build a custom Docker image and push it to Amazon ECR, then create a Fargate task definition that references secrets stored in AWS Secrets Manager. Along the way, you will configure least-privilege IAM roles for task execution and service access and verify that container logs are flowing to Amazon CloudWatch. By the end of the lab, you will have a running Fargate service that securely injects secrets at runtime and generates observable log output.

Challenge
Inject secrets into running tasks via AWS Secrets Manager and verify logging in CloudWatch
Create a Fargate task definition that injects a Secrets Manager secret as an environment variable, launch the service, and verify that the secret appears in Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
