Deploy Rust Docker Image to ECS

Job ID: 40366387

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I have a small Rust + Actix web service that already builds cleanly inside a working Dockerfile. The image now needs to live in AWS:

• The private ECR repository is ready and waiting.
• I only want a one-time, manual deployment—no CodePipeline, no GitHub Actions.
• Once deployed, the service should be reachable through a public endpoint (an Application Load Balancer on Fargate is perfectly fine, but I’m open to whatever you consider the simplest path).

Deliverables
1. Tag, push, and verify the Docker image in my existing ECR repo.
2. Create the ECS cluster, task definition, and service that reference that image.
3. Configure networking (subnets, security groups, ALB) so I can hit the health route from a browser.
4. Hand over the AWS CLI or console steps you followed so I can repeat the process later if needed.

Success is a green ECS service and an URL that responds with the Actix health check. I’ll provide AWS credentials scoped to the necessary IAM permissions as soon as we start.
