AWS Components

Terraform

Use

Update values accordingly for cluster in variable.tf

variable "ecs-cluster-name" {
    description = "The name for the cluster."
    default = "demo-ecs-cluster"
}

variable "ecs-key-pair-name" {
    description = "The name for the cluster."
    default = "demo"
}

RDS details are mentioned terraform.tavars

production_database_name      = "dummy_data"
production_database_username  = "demo"
production_database_password  = "defaultpassword"

Deploy all the infrastructure needed on AWS using Terraform.

# terraform get
# terraform init
# terraform plan -out config
# terraform apply config

Once deployed, open ALB DNS on browser. It will start the wordpress application setup.

The RDS connection parameters will be passed on runtime to the Wordpress containers via environment variables.

Once not needed, we can remove all the AWS infrastructure:

# terraform destroy

To deploy individual AWS components:

Configure a new VPC.

terraform apply -target=module.vpc

Configure a new ECS Cluster with a service.

terraform apply -target=module.ecs

Configure the auto scaling group and launch configuration via EC2.

terraform apply -target=module.ec2

Configure and launch RDS.

terraform apply -target=module.rds
