ecs and eks fargate-tutorial or AWS App Runner

A tutorial on using EKS, ECS with fargate, or AWS App Ruuner on the AWS Cloud

Verified Deploy with AWS App Runner

ECS method

• setup app: virtualenv + make all
• test app local: python app.py
• curl it to test: curl localhost:8080/change/1/34
• create ECR Repo
• build container
• push container
• run docker local: docker run -p 8080:8080 changemachine
• deploy to fargate
• test public service

EKS method

Build a Fargate App

• Install kubectl and eksctl. You can follow instructions here.
• Open up either AWS CloudShell or AWS Cloud9
• Create a cluster at the terminal eksctl create cluster --name FargateExploration --region us-east-2 --fargate (Takes a few minutes)

You will see output similar to this

2021-02-17 17:52:07 [ℹ]  waiting for CloudFormation stack "eksctl-FargateExploration-cluster"
2021-02-17 17:52:28 [ℹ]  creating Fargate profile "fp-default" on EKS cluster "FargateExploration"

• Verify the cluster: aws eks describe-cluster --name FargateExploration --query cluster.resourcesVpcConfig.clusterSecurityGroupId (or leave off the query and get entire description)

• Create ECR Repo:

• ECS is much easier to setup with Fargate: https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ecs/home?region=us-east-2#/firstRun

AWS App Runner method

This repository can easily be converted to an AWS Runner Method in Wizard to the following:

1. For build do: pip install -r requirements.txt
2. To run: python app.py
3. For port: 8080
