LAMP Stack

This repo deploys a LAMP stack to AWS.

Prerequisite Steps

Before we can deploy the rest of the project we need a bucket for storing the terraform state and ECR repositories for the container images.

Deploy CFT:

AWS_PROFILE=ktacct AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-2 aws cloudformation deploy \
  --template-file cloudformation/lamp-prereq.yaml \
  --stack-name "lamp-prereq"

Resources Created:

Logical ID	Type
ECRbase	AWS::ECR::Repository
ECRweb	AWS::ECR::Repository
S3Bucket	AWS::S3::Bucket

Building Web/App Image

Use the make command to build the php image to be run in AWS. You have to specify the tag you want to use for the image. This build used the public docker-hub apache tag of php. This image was also mirrored to ECR in case of dockerhub rate limit issues.

make mirror-base tag=202209151750

Terraform Deployment of App

Requirements:

Terraform Installed (tfenv use 1.2.9)

Once the image is uploaded to ECR, create a settings.auto.tfvars with the image uri in the ./terraform directory.

Example settings.auto.tfvars

img_uri = "<ACCOUNT_NUMBER>.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/lamp/web:<TAG-HERE>"

./terraform Directory:

./terraform
├── main.tf
├── outputs.tf
├── settings.auto.tfvars
├── variables.tf
└── versions.tf

Check Terraform plan:

AWS_PROFILE=ktacct AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-2 make plan

Deploy Terraform:

AWS_PROFILE=ktacct AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-2 make apply

Pushing changes to AWS

Build and push new image

make push tag=202209152305

Update settings.auto.tfvars file with new tag

img_uri = "487169596959.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/lamp/web:202209152248"

Terraform apply to update the ECS service and task definition

AWS_PROFILE=ktacct AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-2 make apply
