This project uses terraform to automate the deployment of a containerized application to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS).
This is a terraform project that automates the provisioning of all necessary infrastructure required - and automatically deploys a containerized python aplication to Amazon Elastic Container Service (AWS ECS).
- Clone the repository.
- Switch into the cloned repository and
cdinto the terraform directory. - Run
terraform init - Run
terraform validateto validate the source code synatx. - Run
terraform planto view proposed infrastructure changes. - Run
terraform apply -auto-approveto provision the infrastructure and deploy the application.
The DNS name of the application load balancer attached to the load balancer is printed out as terraform output once the apply is complete.
You can simply copy the DNS name and paste in your browser to access the application. Beware however that it takes about 5 to 8 minutes for the application to be fully deployed.
For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. Please make sure to update the README.md file as appropriate.
