DevOps(Day-73): Project - Deploying a nginx webapp through AWS Fargate, ECS & ECR - Part2

 

    • Pushing the image to ECR

    • Configuring AWS ECS

    • Using AWS Fargate

    • Open port in the security group.

    • Project live execution

Deploying an Nginx application image through AWS ECR to AWS Fargate and ECS to make our application live.

Pushing the image to ECR

  1. Navigate to the AWS ECR and view the push commands.

    Earlier, we had pushed the image to DockerHub in my previous blogs. The steps and concepts are similar but the platform differs. Generally in IT industry ECR is used as an image registry.

  2. Execute commands 1 and 2 in the EC2 instance.

    Command 1: This will take the ecr token and provide to docker for the connection to the repository.

    Command 2: This will build the image from the Dockerfile.

  3. Execute commands 3 and 4 in EC2 instance.

    Command 3: This tags the image that we have built using docker.

    Command 4: This command will push the image from EC2 instance to ECR.

  4. After the image push, you can check the ECR for the image.

  5. Navigate to the ECS repository in the AWS console.

  6. Create a cluster in ECS.

  7. Provide the Cluster name, VPC and subnet you want your application to be available on.

One of the major disadvantages of using AWS EC2 for an application is we have to create multiple instances in case of an application load increase that will have a cost impact.

To avoid this, we will use AWS Fargate which is a serverless technique of providing the specification of applications that will be automatically managed without spinning off any instance.

  1. Therefore, we will select AWS Fargate fo the cluster to run on.

  2. The cluster is now ready!!!

  3. We used to run docker run to create a container in the EC2 instance out of the docker image. That was nothing but a task. Therefore let's create a task definition for our cluster.

  4. Provide the task name, Container image details and ports for the application to be run on. We must have exposed a port in our Dockerfile.

  5. Select the CPU and memory configuration according to the application load.

  6. Let the rest be default and click on next.

  7. Review the details and create the task.

  8. Now, the task is finally created!!!!

  9. Click on deploy and then Run task to run the task on the cluster we had created.

  10. Choose the cluster. Select the launch type to be Fargate.

  11. Now click to create.

  12. The task is now deployed to the cluster.

  13. Navigate to the ENI ID in the task.

  14. Go to the security group URL.

  15. Navigate to the Inbound rule in the security group and open the Port 80 which is HTTP and select my IP to have access for myself.

  16. Navigate to the task that we created. Take the public IP.

  17. We can see our application is live!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading my article. Have a nice day.

DevOps (Day-1) Introduction

  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

DevOps(Day-3) - File Management in Linux

File Management in Linux TABLE OF CONTENTS In Linux, most of the operations are performed on files. And to handle these files Linux has directories also known as folders which are maintained in a tree-like structure. Though, these directories are also a type of file themselves. Linux has 3 types of files: Regular Files :  It is the common file type in Linux. it includes files like – text files, images, binary files, etc. Such files can be created using the touch command. They consist of the majority of files in the Linux/UNIX system. The regular file contains ASCII or Human Readable text, executable program binaries, program data and much more. Directories :  Windows call these directories as folders. These are the files that store the list of file names and the related information. The root directory(/) is the base of the system, /home/ is the default location for user’s home directories, /bin for Essential User Binaries, /boot – Static Boot Files, etc. We could create new directories

DevOps(Day-2) Linux

  Linux It is an operating system first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. It comes from the family of Unix operating system which is a black terminal screen that provides excellent security. Basic Linux commands:- Check your present working directory. The command used to check the directory you are currently at is " pwd ". List all the files or directories including hidden files. " ls " - It is the command used to list the files in the present directory. There are multiple extensions that can be used along with ls command such as:- -a  :- It displays all the hidden files in the directory. -l  :- It gives a long listing of files. -R  :- gives a recursive listing, including the contents of all subdirectories and their subdirectories and so on. -t  :- lists the files in order of the time when they were last modified (newest first) rather than in alphabetical order. -r  :- lists the files in the reverse of the order. -i  :- displays all the files with t
