Profiling a .NET6 app running on AWS ECS Fargate with dotnet-monitor

This repository contains a practical example about how to deploy an application with dotnet-monitor as a sidecar container on AWS ECS Fargate.

The repository contains a .NET6 API and a CDK app that creates the AWS Resources needed to run the demo.

Dependencies

• Docker installed on your machine.
  The API is containerized and pushed into ECR with the CDK app. When the cdk deploy command is executed the app container is created, so you'll need docker installed on your machine.

AWS Resources

The CDK app will create the following resources:

• VPC.
• 2 Public Subnets.
• A public Application Load Balancer that listens on port 80 (I didn't want to set an SSL certificate...).
  • This ALB is used to access the NET6 Web API.
• A public Application Load Balancer that listens on port 52323
  • This one is used to interact with dotnet-monitor (you could use a single ALB and set 2 listeners with 2 target groups, but in a realistic scenario you really don't want to open a port on your internet facing ALB, instead you'll create a secondary internal ALB and use it to interact with the dotnet-monitor API).
• An ECS Task Definition with 2 containers: API container + dotnet-monitor container.
