## Overview

This repository provides a Terraform module for deploying AWS ECS Fargate. The documented workflow is to configure a Terraform Cloud workspace, then apply the deployment configuration, which deploys the module remotely; users can supply an existing VPC instead of creating one. The source excerpts were unavailable, so the graph limits relationships to those described in the README and does not infer internal AWS resources or module calls.

Main entry points: [`deploy/main.tf`](https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-ecs-fargate/blob/main/deploy/main.tf) (Deployment config), [`main.tf`](https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-ecs-fargate/blob/main/main.tf) (ECS Fargate module), [`setup_workspace/workspace.tf`](https://github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-ecs-fargate/blob/main/setup_workspace/workspace.tf) (Workspace setup)
