Building and Deploying a Fargate Container that runs Python and performs CloudWatch Logging

This guide walks you through building and deploying an AWS Fargate container that runs a Python script. The container will be tagged as the latest version, pushed to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), and configured to log messages to CloudWatch Logs. The process includes setting up the Dockerfile, creating the Python script, building and pushing the Docker image, and configuring AWS services to ensure your container runs smoothly on Fargate. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a running Fargate service that logs information to CloudWatch Logs, allowing you to monitor the status and output of your containerized application in real time. NOTE - In this guide, when you see aws_account_id replace it with your AWS account number and region with your AWS region.
