With this release, you can also import Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPCs) with no public subnets into your Amazon ECS applications deployed with AWS Copilot . This allows you to run your applications in fully isolated environments with Copilot. Additionally, you can also select more than 2 public and private subnets while importing your VPC to AWS Copilot. AWS Copilot v1.8 also provides you greater visibility into your application health status and enables you to display recently stopped tasks and the target health status for load balanced web services in addition to container health checks with the ‘copilot svc status’ command.
You can deploy applications to Amazon ECS with AWS Copilot in all AWS Fargate-supported regions. Additionally, you can deploy applications with AWS Copilot using AWS App Runner in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). You can refer to the Copilot release notes for v1.8 here.
