Deploying the ECS Platform

Quick Start​

StepsExample
Vendor ECS componentsatmos workflow vendor -f ecs
Deploy ACM certificatesatmos workflow deploy/ecs-acm -f ecs
Connect to the VPNClick Ops
Deploy Clustersatmos workflow deploy/clusters -f ecs

Requirements​

In order to deploy ECS, Networking must be fully deployed and functional. In particular, the user deploying the cluster must have a working VPN connection to the targeted account. See the network documentation for details.

All deployment steps below assume that the environment has been successfully set up with the following steps.

  1. Sign into AWS via Leapp
  2. Connect to the VPN
  3. Open Geodesic

Steps

2 Vendor Components​

Vendor these components with the included Atmos Workflows.

These are the commands included in the vendor workflow in the examples/snippets/stacks/workflows/ecs.yaml file:

3 Deploy ECS​

ECS provisioning includes deploying certificate requirements, the default ECS cluster, and Echo Server. Echo Server is a basic service used to validate a successful cluster deployed and is an example of an ECS service. Find ECS Service definitions under catalog/stacks/ecs-services.

To provision each cluster, these components need to be deployed in order. The included Atmos Workflows will carry out this deployment in the proper order, but any of these step can be run outside of a workflow if desired.

See the ecs workflow (stacks/workflows/ecs.yaml) for each individual deployment step.

4 Deploy ACM Certificates​

First deploy all required ACM certificates for each ECS cluster. These certificates validate the given service domain. You can deploy these certificates before associating the given Route 53 Hosted Zone with the purchased domain in your chosen Domain Registrar, but the certificate will not be ISSUED until the registered domain and Hosted Zone are connected.

Run the following to deploy every required ACM certificate for ECS.

These are the commands included in the deploy/ecs-acm workflow in the examples/snippets/stacks/workflows/ecs.yaml file:
    No commands found
Too many commands? Consider using the Atmos workflow! 🚀

5 Connect to the VPN​

In order to complete the following steps, connect to the VPN now. For more on connecting to the VPN, see ec2-client-vpn.

The OVPN configuration for your VPN can be found in the output of the ecs-client-vpn component. For example,

atmos terraform output ec2-client-vpn -s core-use1-network

6 Deploy All Clusters​

Run the following to deploy every ECS cluster. This workflow will deploy every required platform cluster.

These are the commands included in the deploy/clusters workflow in the examples/snippets/stacks/workflows/ecs.yaml file:
    No commands found
Too many commands? Consider using the Atmos workflow! 🚀
