This PR adds a new beta deployment example for AWS using CloudFormation.

This repository already includes examples for AWS that also use Amazon Elastic Container Service; this example uses API Gateway to provide a TLS endpoint instead of a discrete load balancer for a faster time-to-deploy, fewer managed components, and much lower cost.

ECS services are integrated with AWS Cloud Map for service discovery. A VPC with at least two public subnets is required and optionally created and managed by the stack. Credentials are stored in and provided by AWS Secrets Manager. Minimal IAM roles, policy, and security group resources are included for access control and principle of least privilege.

- improved wording in some descriptive text
- use `1password` as DNS namespace

As in using terminal commands?

Clarified: more detailed instructions for this step instead of just linking straight to the stack creation page. Happy to accommodate that.
