terraform-aws-ecs-example

example of forming infrastructure on aws ecs using terraform

init terraform

cd terraform
terraform init

steps

• provision aws

terraform apply

• make sure it works and load balancer is open to the world on port 80

curl -I `terraform output load_balancer_dns`

this will return 503 error (because we didn't deploy the app yet), but it means infrastructure is ready

• configure and authorize aws cli

aws configure

previous 3 operations should be done just once for one environment

• build container

cd ../
sh build.sh [image tag, default is latest commit short hash]

additional tag latest applies automatically

• deploy container

sh deploy.sh [image tag, default is 'latest']

• go to aws console -> Elastic Container Service -> clusters -> my_cool_app_cluster -> my-cool-app-ecs-service -> events

• wait until service has reached a steady state

• curl it again to make sure it works

cd terraform
curl -I `terraform output load_balancer_dns`

working with multiple accounts (staging, prod, qa, etc)

• create terraform workspace

cd terraform
terraform workspace new staging

• repeat from the beginning
