AWS ECS Complete Infrastructure provisioning project

In this project we discuss how we can implement a complete AWS ECS environment with Terraform and GitHub actions pipeline to host container workloads.

Technologies and Tools

• AWS as the Hosting Cloud provider
• Terraform as the Infrastructure as Code Tool
• GitHub for IaC code hosting and GitHub actions for CI/CD pipeline
• AWS CLI

Prerequisites

1. Manully generate a SSH Key Pair

2. Active domain in Route53

3. GitHub OIDC configuration between GitHub project and AWS

Infrastructure Resources and Highlevel connectivity

• AWS Network (VPC, Internet Gateway, Subnets, Route Tables, Nat Gateway, Security Groups)
• AWS EC2 Based ECS cluster (ECS Cluster, EC2 Compute, ECS Service, ECS Tasks, ECR)
• AWS Application Load Balancer and Target Group
• AWS EC2 Compute Auto scaling and ECS Container Auto scaling
• AWS RDS (Postgres Database server)
• AWS Secret Manager
• Route 53 and AWS Certificat eManager
• CloudWatch and SNS for Obervability and notifications

Manual actions

• You have to push You have to push the docker image manully to the ECS Repository
• You can find a sample docker image in DockerHub Docker Hub URL : https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/sgrsaga/project_repo_aws
• Download the docker image from docker hub

  docker pull sgrsaga/project_repo_aws

• Tag the image to match for the ECR repo. In this case as below

  docker tag sgrsaga/project_repo_aws:latest project_repo_aws:latest

• Then you can use the ECR push image commands to push the image to ECR Repository
