durango/tf-ecr-ecs-gh-deploy

Example repository to build OCI, publish to ECR and deploy to ECS fargate, setup using terraform.

Automated ECS deployments

Create the AWS infrastructure (ECS, ECR, ALB, ...) to deploy a container and automatically update it using Github Action.

Example run is available here.

Hey, considering some people forked this project I made a Terraform Module based on the resources I used in this repository. It is available at github.com/tbobm/terraform-aws-ecs and it is already available in the Terraform Registry at tbobm/ecs.

Core components

AWS

The AWS infrastructure is setup using terraform in the ./terraform.

The following components are deployed:

• Application Load Balancer (./lb.tf)
• ECS Cluster / ECS Service (./ecs.tf)
• Elastic Container Registry (./ecr.tf)
• IAM permissions (./iam.tf)
• VPC configuration (./vpc.tf)

CI/CD

The repository leverages the AWS Github Actions maintained by AWS.

The main goal is to provide an example configuration of the following workflow:

• Run the integration tests
• Build the Docker image
• Publish it to a private ECR
• Update the corresponding ECS Service (by editing the task image)
