ECS and Fargate

• Combine Fargate and ECS sections into one

• ECS cluster can be created using the following options:

  • Console

  • AWS CLI

  • CloudFormation

  • IAM roles, task execution role, service linked role (do we need this before the cluster creation). Where are they specified?

• Create task definition for webapp, greeting and name - one for EC2 and another for Fargate mode

  • Show diff

  • Security groups are application specific

• Deploy the task defs (run-task) for the two modes

• Deploy the service (create-service)

  • Show service scaling

• Use ECS CLI to deploy to cluster using Docker Compose

  • Up, down, ps, scale

  • Can it work with both EC2 and Fargate mode?

• How to convert ECS taskdef to Fargate?

• Logging

• Monitoring using X-Ray

  • Fargate using DataDog

• Deployment Pipeline using AWS CodePipeline
