Docker on Amazon ECS Fargate using CloudFormation - Episode #9

Wow. Most videos are nigh-useless; I only watch them while I eat or do something else. But you have managed to create one of the most straightforward, well explained and information dense videos I've seen. Thank you and congratulations!

I loved this tutorial!! Thank you very much!!

I've been trying to learn something about Cloud Formation templates in the past few days. I've noticed that all the tutorials simply throw the template at you and don't explain any of it in detail. They don't explain why any of the items are there and what they do. I come away learning next to nothing. This one is about the same.

Very neatly explained keep it up ..

Thank you very much sir for the straight forward explanation. Is it possible to pass the user data to the instances while using the Fargate Launch type?

this is such a great tutorial! thank you for your great work!

Thanks

thanks for the great Video!
but i didnt understand why did we end with 2 target groups in the end and which instance does each represent
thank you!

This has been greatly helpful! Appreciate it 🙏
One question though, the LogGroup `CloudWatchLogsGroup` in cluster isn't actually necessary right? 🙌

Great video without wasting our time. Thank you so much sir. I am new subscriber

Superb sir, we expect more videos on AWS-DevOps

cool

Dude, this video has tons of info, thanks a bunch! But why dont you just update the stacks instead of creating them from scratch in case of errors? (Just Wondering here)

Hi Chandra, Can I get those yaml's?

Best best best video ever , Thank you

Man, you are great!

Hey, thanks for the great video.
I have two questions:
Is the ALB endpoint fixed or it will be changing every time I update the stack?
If the ALB endpoint is dynamically changing, how can I make it fixed?
Since I want to set up an application domain (let's say on Cloudflare) point to that ALB endpoint if It changing every time I deploy a new change, it's troublesome to re-config.
Scenario:
+ I made code change with the docker images and want to deploy that change.
+ I re-run deploy script.

note: subscribed ;)

really great video. So well explained. Thanks so much for your efforts

Thanks for the great video. I'm new to this topic, so I didn't quite understand your motivation for creating several stacks in cloud formation rather than just one for everything. What are the reasons for doing it that way?

amazing tutorial from scratch. Just solved my problem of automating

super

I wish all tutorials were like this one. Concise, to the point and no-nonsense. Thank you very much, kind Sir!

Thanks a lot for your video ! It have been very useful!

This gives me an insight on CloudFormation. Thank you !

One doubt, Which is the best way to deploy the app changes?

thanks a lot, bro... very helpful. I appreciate your efforts

What was the need to create 2 health check path in Ruby service if we are using only /stat path for health check?

I guess what impresses me about this is that you're doing the networking, the orchestration and the containerization :-)

What kind of size/traffic would make sense for a setup like this one?

Could you share your repo with your templates?

As you have just added one container. What if we have another container too say mysql or mongo and they need to communicate?

FYI...

Had an issue with the api stack timing out. The following change in the iam.yml file fixed it.

From:


- 'ecr:CreateLogGroup'

- 'ecr:CreateLogStream'

To:
- 'logs:CreateLogGroup'
- 'logs:CreateLogStream'
- 'logs:PutLogEvents'
- 'logs:DescribeLogStreams'

Outstanding HowTo! A great way to get started with ECS on AWS!

Very good tutorial. It helps me start building applications with docker on ECS. Thanks heaps

You can make kubernetes videos please

Could you elaborate more on the update process for a particular ECS service? I was able to figure out the initial deployment of my ECS Fargate service but I am having a hard time figuring out how to effectively update the service with a new image. I think it can be done if I just use a different image tag for each deployment but I would like to make it work with 'latest'. Any input would be great!

If we want to add RDS to this set up, how can we pass db_host variable to container variable in ECS task? Can we do it without additional scripting, only with cloud formation features?
