This project makes use of Docker to automate deployment to AWS ECS FARGATE.

Create a launch box

AWS -> EC2 -> Images -> AMIs -> AMI ID = ami-09712b7bf6d670b8f

Use this image to launch a pre-configured Linux box with all the dependencies installed.

Build and run locally

docker-compose build && docker-compose up

Navigate to localhost to see the running application.

Build for production

docker-compose build --build-arg build_env="production"

Build for production and deploy

NB: Activate python virtual environment and pip install
the requirements before running the deploy script.
The deploy script needs to run with python3

docker-compose build --build-arg build_env="production"
./scripts/deploy.sh > deploy.log 2>&1 &

Access the web service

The deployment scripts create a cluster with an auto-generated default security group. The default rules doesn't allow inbound traffic from the Internet and we need to change that after services are up. Run grep security_grp deploy.log to extract the auto-generated security group ID. Go to AWS console AWS -> VPC -> Security Groups and search for that ID. Add an HTTP inbound rule.

Destroy after testing app

scripts/destroy.sh

Some context here if you don't mind

The Deploy script does three basic things using three files

• scripts/login_ecr.sh: It configures aws on your machine with a custom profile and logs into ECR.
• scripts/config_ecr.py: It creates a repo on ecr and uploads created and tagged images to ECR.
• scripts/setup_ecs.sh rainbowtext: Setup ECS and deploy to ECS fargate.
