Jon Chery 94065a4fbc feat(P27): add Examples section to every module README (D-058)
Each module README (10 primitives + 2 patterns) now has a ## Examples
section before ## Versioning, referencing and excerpting the validated
simple.yaml + complex.yaml (+ mysql.yaml for RDS) example contracts. The
RDS README includes a Multi-engine variation subsection (D-059).

# ecs-service — ECS Fargate service (task definition + service)
> **Module kind:** primitive | **Version:** 1.0.0
An ECS Fargate service with its task definition. Runs a container image
on Fargate, optionally behind an ALB target group. This is a
multi-resource module: it creates a task definition and a service that
runs it.
## Resources
| Resource | Type | Purpose |
|----------|------|---------|
| task_definition | `aws_ecs_task_definition` | Fargate task definition with container image, CPU, memory, port, env |
| service | `aws_ecs_service` | Fargate service running the task definition in a cluster + subnets |
## Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `image` | string | yes | — | ECR image URL for the task container |
| `port` | number | yes | — | Container port the service listens on |
| `cpu` | number | no | 256 | Task CPU units (Fargate) |
| `memory` | number | no | 512 | Task memory in MiB (Fargate) |
| `env` | string | no | — | Environment variables as a JSON map string |
| `cluster_arn` | arn | yes | — | ECS cluster ARN (from `ecs-cluster`) |
| `subnets` | string | yes | — | Comma-separated subnet ids (from `vpc`) |
| `security_group` | string | yes | — | Security group id for the service ENIs |
| `lb_target_group_arn` | arn | no | — | Optional ALB target group ARN (from `alb`) |
| `region` | string | yes | — | AWS region the service is created in |
## Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `service_arn` | arn | The ECS service ARN |
| `task_def_arn` | arn | The ECS task definition ARN |
## Usage
```json
{
"id": "service",
"type": "aws:ecs:task_definition",
"module": "ecs-service@1.0.0",
"inputs": {
"image": "581513795199.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/acdl-microservice:latest",
"port": 8080,
"cpu": 256,
"memory": 512,
"cluster_arn": "ref:cluster.cluster_arn",
"subnets": "ref:vpc.subnet_ids",
"security_group": "ref:roles.role_arn",
"region": "us-east-1"
}
}
```
The `image`, `port`, and `env` inputs are compiled into a
`container_definitions` JSON block by the adapter. The service is
placed in the cluster with the given subnets and security group, and
optionally wired to the ALB target group if `lb_target_group_arn` is
provided.
## Compliance extension points
- **CloudWatch Logs** — add `logConfiguration` to the container definition with a log group + retention policy (SOX, SOC2 CC7.2, HIPAA §164.312(b), DORA ICT incident logging).
- **Task execution role separation** — add a separate `aws_iam_role` for execution vs. the task role (SOC2 CC6.3 segregation of duties at runtime).
- **Secrets injection** — add `secrets` block referencing AWS Secrets Manager / SSM Parameter Store with KMS encryption (SOC2 CC6.1, HIPAA §164.312(a)(2)(iv)).
- **Execute command** — add `enable_execute_command` with KMS encryption for session audit (SOC2 CC7.2).
- **Deployment circuit breaker** — add `deployment_circuit_breaker` block for resilience (SOC2 CC9.1, DORA operational resilience).
- **Health check** — add a `health_check` block to the target group (currently missing despite the contract schema having a healthcheck field).
## Examples
Validated example contracts are in [`examples/`](examples/). The platform-test
pipeline validates them against `schemas/contract.schema.json`.
### Simple
A minimal deployment:
[`examples/simple.yaml`](examples/simple.yaml)
```yaml
uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
module: ecs-service
environment: dev
inputs:
name: my-service
region: us-east-1
image: public.ecr.aws/docker/library/nginx:latest
port: 80
```
### Complex
A production deployment with optional inputs:
[`examples/complex.yaml`](examples/complex.yaml)
```yaml
# Complex ECS service with env vars + health check
uses: acdl/pipelines/deploy.yaml@v1.6
module: ecs-service
environment: dev
inputs:
name: my-production-service
region: us-east-1
image: public.ecr.aws/docker/library/nginx:latest
port: 8080
env:
LOG_LEVEL: info
ENVIRONMENT: production
```
## Versioning
`1.0.0` — interface MAJOR, behavior MINOR, lifecycle PATCH. MAJOR bumps
require a new registry entry (immutable publication); old entries enter
a 12-month deprecation window.
