AWS ECS with Terraform Example

This repository provides an example for deploying a container to AWS ECS using Terraform.

Overview

The Terraform configuration defines an ECS cluster, task definition, service, and other supporting resources to run a containerized application on AWS.

Prerequisites

• Terraform 1.1.9+
• AWS account

Usage

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/<your_repo>

2. Create a terraform.tfvars file with your AWS credentials and Docker image name:

aws_access_key = "<your_aws_access_key>"
aws_secret_key = "<your_aws_secret_key>" 
aws_region = "<aws_region>"
app_name = "myapp"
image = "<your_docker_id>/myapp:latest"
container_port = 8080

3. Run Terraform:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

This will create the ECS cluster, task definition, service, and other resources. The containerized application can then be accessed via the public IP of the ECS service.

Cleanup

To destroy the infrastructure, simply run:

terraform destroy
