Adds an ECS-on-EC2 fleet for the gateway beside the Fargate one, selected by MAPLE_INGEST_FLEETS (fargate | ec2 | fargate,ec2; unset = fargate). - c7gd.large (Graviton3, 118 GB NVMe) in an ASG behind an ECS capacity provider with managed scaling and managed draining. userData mounts the instance store at /mnt/wal and only then joins the cluster. - Host networking, one task per instance: an awsvpc task on EC2 cannot take a public IP, and this VPC has no NAT by design. The ALB targets instances; the instance SG admits only the ALB on the gateway port. - The WAL dir is a bind mount of the NVMe, so per-frame fsync no longer goes to network-backed Fargate storage. - alchemy patch: ECS.Service omits awsvpcConfiguration and uses an instance target group for non-awsvpc tasks; an ASG update with no desiredCapacity leaves the live value to ECS managed scaling. - Previews opt in with the preview:ingest-ec2 label.

🟡 EC2 preview survives label removal
Removing preview:ingest-ec2 leaves MAPLE_INGEST_FLEETS=ec2 deployed because unlabeled runs only for the main preview label. The costly EC2 preview persists until another deployment or teardown.
Learn more
The workflow deploys while the main preview label is present, but its job condition rejects every unlabeled event except removal of preview. Removing preview:ingest-ec2 therefore starts no run, so the stack never receives the new empty MAPLE_INGEST_FLEETS value. The existing EC2 service, Auto Scaling group, instances, and ALB remain deployed. A later synchronize or label event can incidentally reconcile the stack, while removing preview tears it down entirely.
Example: A maintainer adds preview and preview:ingest-ec2, which deploys the EC2 fleet. They remove only preview:ingest-ec2 expecting Fargate again. No deploy job runs, so the preview remains on EC2 and continues incurring instance costs.
Recommended fix: Let the deploy job run when either optional configuration label is removed while preview remains. Keep TEARDOWN=false for those events, and reserve teardown for removal of the main preview label or PR closure.

Gate the ECS agent on the WAL mount.
If the NVMe mount fails after a reboot, nofail lets systemd continue without waiting. /mnt/wal already exists on the root EBS volume because user data creates it. The ECS agent can then start the host-network task, and the existing sourcePath exposes that ordinary directory to the container.
Remove nofail and add RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/wal to the ECS agent's systemd unit. The AWS.ECS.Service("ingest-ec2", ...) resource cannot express this host boot dependency.

Add bounded host rotation for AMI updates. The launch template uses the latest ECS-optimized AMI, but the Auto Scaling group and Alchemy patch define no instance refresh, maximum instance lifetime, or other host-rotation mechanism. Host networking can trigger managed scale-out during a rolling task deployment, but it does not guarantee replacement on every deploy or during an AMI-only update. Add an explicit bounded refresh or another host-rotation mechanism.

Reject empty fleet entries. MAPLE_INGEST_FLEETS documents only named fleets. The current filter removes empty entries, so "," becomes the Fargate-only default instead of failing the ingest deployment. Reject empty entries after splitting. Preserve the unset and blank-value default.

Depends on #936. Instance-store NVMe is wiped when an instance is replaced, so the WAL's S3 tier has to work before anything runs here.

MAPLE_INGEST_FLEETSpicks which fleets run:fargate,ec2, orfargate,ec2. Unset meansfargate, so merging this changes nothing in prd.c7gd.large(Graviton3, 2 vCPU / 4 GiB, 118 GB NVMe instance store), ECS-optimized AL2023 arm64 AMI, in an ASG behind an ECS capacity provider with managed scaling and managed draining. Access is through Session Manager, with no key pair and no port 22./mnt/wal, and only then writesECS_CLUSTER. A host whose disk didn't come up never gets a task. The task bind-mounts it at the gateway's default WAL dir.awsvpctask on EC2 can't take a public IP, and this VPC has no NAT gateway by design. With host networking the task uses the instance's public IP. The ALB targets instances, and the instance security group admits only the ALB on 3474. A rolling deploy puts the new task on a fresh host (the old task holds the port) and drains the old one through the existing SIGTERM WAL drain. New AMIs roll out with deploys the same way.alchemy patch (
