Console container updates

We are rolling out some updates to the Console to better support container applications.

Logs

You can now see logs from your containers in the Console. In addition to the logs from your functions. Head over to your App > Stage > Logs.

As a bonus, you can see logs from any CloudWatch log group that your app creates.

Autodeploy

The Console can auto-deploy your apps when you git push to your GitHub repo. We added the following updates recently.

• VPC: You can now configure Autodeploy to run in your VPC using autodeploy.runner.vpc. This is useful if your builds need to access private resources.
• Caching: You can now configure files or directories to be cached as a part of your build process with autodeploy.runner.cache. This can help speed up builds.
• Extended timeouts: Autodeploys now have a maximum timeout of 36 hours. This is useful for apps that take a long time to build.
• New runner sizes: There are new xlarge and 2xlarge sizes with around 70GB and 145GB of memory; helpful for large applications.

Check out the updated console.autodeploy config.

Other updates

While not strictly related to containers we also added support for:

• Manual deploys: You can now manually trigger a deployment from App > Autodeploy > hitting the Deploy button. You can pass in a Git ref and the stage you want to deploy to.
• Redeploys: You can now redeploy any past deploy through the Console.
• Cancel deploys: You can also cancel a deploy that's in progress through the Console.

About Autodeploy

If you haven't used Autodeploy before, we designed it to be a better fit for SST apps when compared to alternatives like GitHub Actions or CircleCI.

1. Easy to get started, supports branch and PR workflow out of the box.
2. Configurable, customize your workflow through your sst.config.ts.
3. Runs in your AWS account, builds are run in your AWS account and can use your VPC.

And it integrates with the rest of the SST Console. Learn more about Autodeploy to get started.
