You might have seen and heard me praise AWS AppConfig as a way to separate your configuration deployment from your code deployment with AWS Lambda. What about container workloads?
Application configuration deployment to container workloads using AWS AppConfig | Amazon Web Services
UPDATE (15 Dec 22): AWS AppConfig released an Agent for containers (EKS, ECS, Docker, Kubernetes) in December 2022, which makes calling AppConfig much simpler from containerized applications. We recommend using the AppConfig Agent for containers instead of the method below. Read the Agent documentation. AWS AppConfig is a capability of AWS Systems Manager that you […]

Separating your application configuration from your application code is good practice, and AWS AppConfig makes it easy to roll out new config. With Lambda Extensions, it's even easier!

Try the sample serverless app with configuration through AppConfig from the Sessions with SAM repository.

Feature Flags and Config Deployment with AWS AppConfig
Deploy feature flags with AWS AppConfig: model config, roll out gradually with a canary strategy, and roll back automatically.

AWS AppConfig can build configurations, with feature flags, all sorts of cool stuff. But the AWS Tofu/Terraform provider has a bug - it sees a persistent drift due to rendering metadata listing the previous changes.

So I fixed it! Or well, I opened the PR, 1 year ago 🍰 🕯️ 😭

Agents are already using your Angular apps on behalf of your users.

Make sure they can easily use your apps functionality, now made possible with experimental WebMCP support in Angular 😉

Implementing feature flags in container environments with AWS AppConfig
Learn how to implement dynamic feature flags in Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS using AWS AppConfig with the sidecar pattern. You set up an AWS AppConfig feature flag, deploy the AWS AppConfig Agent as a sidecar container, and toggle application behavior at runtime without rebuilding or redeploying your containers.

AWS AppConfig with sidecar agents enables dynamic feature flags in ECS and EKS containers without redeployments, allowing runtime configuration changes through local HTTP endpoints.

Running production experiments with AWS AppConfig experimentation
A redesigned checkout button is meant to lift sales. A longer cache time to live (TTL) is meant to cut backend load. But until you test a change against real production traffic, decisions come down to intuition and whoever argues hardest, not evidence. With AWS AppConfig experimentation, you can make data-driven calls instead: using A/B [...]
