Aws CodePipeline to Deploy to ECS Cluster using AWS CLI

Question

I am using AWS CodePipeline to create a CICD. I am using Bitbucket as a source, using CodeBuid and Amazon CodePipeline. I have done this using console but now I want to create CodePipeline using AWS CLI. For this, we have to create a JSON file that holds the configuration. I want to deploy my application to ECS but I don't find any JSON format to do this. 
Here you can see the JSON file:

```
{
  "pipeline": {
    "roleArn": "arn:aws:iam::74555555530:role/service-role/AWSCodePipelineServiceRole-us-east-1-HubspotConnector",

            },
            "OutputArtifacts": [
                {
                    "Name": "SourceArtifact"
                }
            ],

            },
            "Name": "ApplicationSource"
        }
    ]
},
      {
        "name": "Build",
        "actions": [
          {
            "inputArtifacts": [
              {
                "name": "SourceArtifact"
              }
            ],
            "name": "Build",
            "actionTypeId": {
              "category": "Build",
              "owner": "AWS",
              "version": "1",
              "provider": "CodeBuild"
            },
            "outputArtifacts": [
              {
                "name": "default"
              }
            ],
            "configuration": {
              "ProjectName": "cicdCli"
            },
            "runOrder": 1
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "artifactStore": {
      "type": "S3",
      "location": "codepipeline-us-east-1-16896969692329"
    },
    "name": "newPipelineCicd",
    "version": 1
  }
}
```
It has source stage, build stage but I don't know how to write build stage (for Deploy to ECS). Can someone guide me what are the exact parameters for build stage (ECS deployment).

Answer

In order to check for the Json format of the ECS Deployment stage in the AWS CodePipeline, you can refer the below document :

[] Amazon Elastic Container Service - Action declaration - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/action-reference-ECS.html#action-reference-ECS-example

Further, I would also recommend you to checkout this[1] document to know more about the 'CodePipeline pipeline structure' in detail.

Also, feel free to refer these[2][3] documents which consists of the step by step tutorial to deploy to Amazon ECS using AWS Codepipeline.
