Containerized Application: Run on AWS Fargate

This is a simple application to demonstrate the usage of AWS CDK. We will deploy a docker container (from docker hub, you can also use AWS ECR to deploy a conatainerized application in AWS Fargate.

Containerized Application: Run on AWS Fargate Architecture

  1. Prerequisites

    This demo, instructions, scripts and cloudformation template is designed to be run in us-east-1. With few modifications you can try it out in other regions as well(Not covered here).

    • AWS CLI pre-configured

  2. ⚙️ Setting up the environment

    • Get the application code

      git clone https://github.com/miztiik/cdk-demo-app.git
cd cdk-demo-app

  3. 🚀 Deployment using AWS CDK

    If you have AWS CDK installed you can close this repository and deploy the stack with,

    # If you DONT have cdk installed
npm install -g aws-cdk

# Make sure you in root directory
cd cdk-demo-app
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

    The very first time you deploy an AWS CDK app into an environment (account/region), you’ll need to install a bootstrap stack, Otherwise just go aheadand deploy using cdk deploy

    cdk bootstrap
cdk deploy

  4. 🔬 Test the app

    The cdk deploy command should provide you the application load balancer url to access the web app. You can get the same from cloudformation outputs or in the ALB page.

    You should be seeing something like this, Containerized Application: Run on AWS Fargate

  5. 🧹 CleanUp

    If you want to destroy all the resources created by the stack, Execute the below command to delete the stack, or you can delete the stack from console as well

    cdk destroy
