Cloud Posse

Terraform module to create an ECS Service for a web app (task), and an ALB target group to route requests.


This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

Terraform Open Source Modules

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

Usage

IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.

Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated test of the complete example using bats and Terratest, see test.

The container_image in the container_definition module is the Docker image used to start a container.

The container_definition is a string of JSON-encoded container definitions. Normally, you would place only one container definition here as the example above demonstrates. However, there might be situations where more than one container per task is more appropriate such as optionally in Fargate or in other cases where sidecars may be required. With cloudposse/terraform-aws-ecs-container-definition multi-container task definitions can be created using:

module "ecs_alb_service_task" {
  ...
  container_definition_json = jsonencode([
    module.first_container.json_map_object,
    module.second_container.json_map_object,
  ])
  ...
}

Refer to the multiple definitions example in cloudposse/terraform-aws-ecs-container-definition for details on defining multiple definitions.

This string is passed directly to the Docker daemon. Images in the Docker Hub registry are available by default. Other repositories are specified with either repository-url/image:tag or repository-url/image@digest. Up to 255 letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, periods, forward slashes, and number signs are allowed. This parameter maps to Image in the Create a container section of the Docker Remote API and the IMAGE parameter of docker run.

When a new task starts, the Amazon ECS container agent pulls the latest version of the specified image and tag for the container to use. However, subsequent updates to a repository image are not propagated to already running tasks.

Images in Amazon ECR repositories can be specified by either using the full registry/repository:tag or registry/repository@digest. For example, 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:latest or 012345678910.dkr.ecr.<region-name>.amazonaws.com/<repository-name>@sha256:94afd1f2e64d908bc90dbca0035a5b567EXAMPLE.

Images in official repositories on Docker Hub use a single name (for example, ubuntu or mongo).

Images in other repositories on Docker Hub are qualified with an organization name (for example, amazon/amazon-ecs-agent).

Images in other online repositories are qualified further by a domain name (for example, quay.io/assemblyline/ubuntu).

For more info, see Container Definition.
