DevOps(Day-62) :Amazon Elastic Container Service(ECS) - Part2

 

  • What is ECS?

  • Task: Set up ECS by setting up Nginx on ECS.

  • ECS (Elastic Container Service) is a fully-managed container orchestration service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows you to run and manage Docker containers on a cluster of virtual machines (EC2 instances) without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.

  • With ECS, you can easily deploy, manage, and scale your containerized applications using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the API. ECS supports both "Fargate" and "EC2 launch types", which means you can run your containers on AWS-managed infrastructure or your own EC2 instances.

  • ECS also integrates with other AWS services, such as Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, and Amazon VPC, allowing you to build scalable and highly available applications. Additionally, ECS has support for Docker Compose and Kubernetes, making it easy to adopt existing container workflows.

  • Overall, ECS is a powerful and flexible container orchestration service that can help simplify the deployment and management of containerized applications in AWS.

  • Create Task definition

  1. In order to run the cluster we need to create a task. Navigate to task defination.

  2. Go to the public Elastic Container Repository(ECR) gallery.ecr.aws to copy the NGINX image url.

  3. In the task, provide the Nginx image details along with port mappings for the image.

  4. Provide the CPU and Memory according to the requirement.

  5. Review and create the task.

  6. The task is now created.

  • Create a service.

  1. We need to create a service in the Cluster. So navigate to the cluster created and go to the service section to create a service.

  2. Use the default settings.

  3. Choose the Family to specify the task that was already created with the particular version if you had created multiple same tasks previously.

  4. Choose the security group and ensure the security group have port 80 opened. Else you can also create a new security group instantly and open the HTTP port.

  5. Now service is created.

  6. Navigate to cluster and choose the task.

  7. Copy the Public Ip to access the URL.

  8. Now, the NGINX page is live.

Thanks for reading my article. Have a nice day.

DevOps(Day-97): Meta-Arguments in Terraform

  TABLE OF CONTENTS Write about meta-arguments and their use in Terraform. Task-01: Meta-Arguments HandsOn Count for-each When you define a resource block in Terraform, by default, this specifies one resource that will be created. To manage several of the same resources, you can use either count or for_each, which removes the need to write a separate block of code for each one. Using these options reduces overhead and makes your code neater. count is what is known as a ‘meta-argument’ defined by the Terraform language. Meta-arguments help achieve certain requirements within the resource block. Write about meta-arguments and their use in Terraform. Meta-arguments in Terraform refer to a set of special arguments that can be used to define how a particular resource or module behaves within a Terraform configuration. These arguments provide additional configuration options and enable fine-grained control over the behaviour of resources or modules. Meta-arguments are prefixed with the...

DevOps(Day-95): Auto Scaling with Terraform

Image
  TABLE OF CONTENTS Understanding Scaling Pre-requisites Task 1: Create an Auto Scaling Group Task 2: Test Scaling Yesterday, we learned how to AWS S3 Bucket with Terraform. Today, we will see how to scale our infrastructure with Terraform. Understanding Scaling Scaling is the process of adding or removing resources to match the changing demands of your application. As your application grows, you will need to add more resources to handle the increased load. And as the load decreases, you can remove the extra resources to save costs. Terraform makes it easy to scale your infrastructure by providing a declarative way to define your resources. You can define the number of resources you need and Terraform will automatically create or destroy the resources as needed. Pre-requisites Create a  terraform.tf  file declaring the providers to be installed in the system according to the resources required. Create a  provider.tf  file to declare the region. Create a  vp...

DevOps (Day-1) Introduction

Image
  TABLE OF CONTENTS Infrastructure Automation Why DevOps is Important? What is DevOps? As the name indicates:- Dev + Ops = Development + Operations. Development i) Backend Developers ii) Front-end Developers iii) QA Operations i) System admins ii) Network admins iii) Database admins The practice of operations and development engineers participating together in the entire service lifecycle through a pipeline from design through the development process to production support. This process is known as DevOps. This is a process of automating the whole infrastructure. Now here comes a query, what are we automating? We are automating the whole team's work from the code-building stage to code deployment. Scenario 1:- In a company, there is a project in which developers are writing the code and deploying it to the QA environment frequently for each sprint. This code is then tested by the testing team. Suppose there is a situation of mishap happens where the testing team used the older code ...
