Is it possible to finish this tutorial with the required instructions at the end for ecs deployment?

Hi @helloravi - sorry for slow response. I think the ECS deployment part isn't complete as I haven't continued working on this. Sorry for the confusion

[helloravi]

Thank you for replying. Whatever you wrote so far was quite helpful. If you can get around to finish the ecs part it would be great.

it's not a bad idea, I'd re-organise it slightly though as some Dockerfiles are mixed with golang code (messy)

I'd also move all the manual steps to Terraform like in this repository (sets up ECS infra for similar s3 based app): https://github.com/so0k/exercise-infra

[helloravi]

Thank you very much. I have never used Terraform. Just looking into it. Do you know a resource which shows how to set up a ECS cluster using CLI?

[so0k]

the repo I linked above does exactly that:
https://github.com/so0k/exercise-infra/blob/master/README.md#getting-started

you run terraform plan and it'll give you a full overview of the VPC / Subnets / Security Groups / IAM Roles / Auto Scaling Groups / Load Balancers / ... everything required to provision a full ECS cluster

[so0k]

not only that, if you need to modify something, you can change the code, run another plan to verify the changes you made will be applied as expected, then you can apply the new changes effectively managing your full infrastructure as code - not just fire it off once to create it, but continuously improve it and giving you an easy way to re-create everything from scratch if it were ever required

Vincent,
I have never even set up a basic cluster using ECS CLI. I have only started with ECS recently. I set up a dummy cluster using the GUI on web.

I wanted to set up one using the basic ECS CLI so that I get familiar with ECS CLI set up. I want to move on to Terraform once I do that. What do you advice?

I am looking at using something like https://github.com/remind101/empire later once I am familiar enough with ECS. Do you have any advice on this?

Once again, your demo tutorial was very helpful :)

[so0k]

https://github.com/aws/amazon-ecs-cli should be the first stop I guess, apart from that there's Convox and Blox.

I prefer kubernetes as this gives you cloud provider independency, but I suggest you start with ecs-cli

[helloravi]

Waav. You are super helpful.

I was doing this tutorial
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ECS_CLI_tutorial.html

I was having trouble with
ecs-cli up --keypair id_rsa --capability-iam --size 2 --instance-type t2.medium
And when I was searching for this I came across your demo app.

I have some key pair issue :) I made sure the pem is from the same region as suggested in some comments but still going no where with it.

Where are you from?
Also, interesting username so+0k?

Thanks got this resolved!
