Sorry for the self-promo, but my book (Ansible for DevOps) dives into many more practical examples in later chapters. You can get it on LeanPub (recommended) or other popular platforms.

Also check out the code examples: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-for-devops

Looks like this is a little closer to what you're looking for I think: https://medium.com/aws-activate-startup-blog/running-service...

Thanks. For anyone interested: the above linked medium post doesn't mention config management, but I see that Ansible has some form of ECS support.

There's a book I can recommend: Devops 2.0 Toolkit.
