Amazon AWS Configuration

These configuration changes are required to run docker containers in Amazon ECS via Elastic Beanstalk. Before you try to deploy Dockdj to AWS, run through these required setup steps to create IAM roles.

Policies

These policies grant permissions that our roles will utilize. Create these in the Amazon IAM policy editor using the "Create Policy" and "Create Your Own Policy" options.

This policy allows Elastic Beanstalk to run tasks on Amazon Elastic Container Service.
