To start a Docker Selenium Grid in AWS, follow these steps:
Pull the official Selenium Docker image, then run a container with the necessary port mapping and shared memory allocation. Alternatively, create an ECS cluster and service using Docker Compose and start the service with the AWS CLI.

# Pull the official Selenium Docker image
docker pull selenium/standalone-chrome:4.0.0-alpha-4
# Run the Selenium Docker container
docker run -d \

# Alternatively, if you want to run a grid in AWS
# 1. Create an AWS ECS cluster and service
# 2. Use the following Docker Compose file to define the service
version: '3'
services:
selenium-grid:
image: selenium/standalone-chrome:4.0.0-alpha-4
ports:
- "4444:4444"
shm_size: 2g
deploy:
mode: replicated
replicas: 1
resources:
limits:
cpus: '0.5'
memory: 2G
# 3. Run the AWS CLI command to start the service
aws ecs start-service --cluster your-cluster-name --service your-service-name
