Add a provider for ECS in Traefik v2

Feature

What did you expect to see?

Traefik v1 supports dynamic config generation for and from a ECS cluster, i.e. it has an ECS provider.

Now that the main changes for v2 are out, we can re-add previously supported providers, such as the one for ECS.

The existing providers, such as docker, as well as the code for the ECS provider in v1.7, can be used for inspiration.

It’s a real shame that ECS Support was dropped as part of V2, but some were brought forward. We have quite a lot of V1 instances running which we were looking forward to bringing up to V2.

It's not really "dropped", just not done yet. If you like, take a shot ;)

[m13t]

Okay that’s good to know. I thought given v2 is now released and it didn’t make the cut, it must have been dropped.

How about using a "resolver" like in nginx?

@SantoDE can I take a shot? 🎄

[ldez]

@ysz Traefik is an open source project, so feel free to work on this.

[andrewelkins]

Has anyone made progress on creating support for ECS in v2?

Isn't this sort of a lie? ECS is supported in the 2.x EE version, which means it HAS been done already. While I think that adding features to an open source project and bundling them as paid premium tier is perfectly ok, REMOVING a feature that already existed as you go from version 1.7 to 2.x is a violation of the spirit of open source and the people that freely contributed to getting the feature into V1.7.

Will ECS ever be added to the Community edition of 2.x?

[SantoDE]

not sure what you talking about @a6patch or where you get that information from. EE 2.X does NOT have ECS as a provider. If its listed somewhere, we'll need to correct it as its untrue.

For ECS in Traefik 2.X, there is the PR #6749 which I'm currently testing on ECS :-)

[a6patch]

Sorry if I misunderstood. After waiting a number of months after 2.0 for ECS to get added, I had a conversation with a salesperson that very specifically said that that was an EE feature and wasn't available in the non-EE 2.x Traefik. She must have been mistaken.

I did check your site and the current home page for Traefik 2.x clearly say "Services auto-discovery (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Red Hat OpenShift, Rancher, Amazon ECS, Key-Value Stores)".....

I'll keep an eye out for that PR...looking forward to moving off 1.7 :)

@SantoDE let me know if you need another pair of eyes for testing! I'm very interested in getting 2.x on ECS!

[KevinGimbel]

@SantoDE Might be worth adding: I can test against our internal test system where we have a bunch of services running, so we could test the PR against a "real" system (if I can get a docker image from the PR)

[alekitto]

@KevinGimbel If you need a docker image for testing I've created an alpine based image a month ago and pushed it on docker hub (https://hub.docker.com/r/alekitto/traefik-alpine).

[KevinGimbel]

@alekitto Neat! I'll see when I can give this a go! :)

[SantoDE]

Can you share your results then @KevinGimbel? Probably, tests from a real system would be more "worth / important" already :-) Maybe we can also talk on the Traefik slack ;-)

[KevinGimbel]

@SantoDE We can talk on the Traefik Slack, I'm there as "Kevin Gimbel" - just hit me up. I'll need to see when I can try it, maybe tonight or tomorrow!

Found a vulnerability on 1.7 with ECR scan and finally upgraded to 2x, and now I am here! fingers crossed!

[SantoDE]

@aravind-jl WDYM? I can't really follow, but I'd like to.

I used Traefik v2 on ECS, published blog post about it https://dev.to/anilmaurya/traefik-v2-with-lets-encrypt-on-amazon-s-elastic-container-service-ecs-1h4h
