Assignment 7

Assignment 7 - Deploy to ECS

Prerequisites

• Student has Github account
• Student has a DockerHub account
• Student has an AWS account
• Student has Docker installed.
• Adequate bandwidth. This is not a cafe exercise.
• Student has completed Assignment 6

Concepts Introduced

• EC2 Container Service Deployment

Step 0 - Fork the repo

• Delete current repo if you have it already
• Go to this repo and Fork it

https://github.com/pdxdiver/ecs-push

• Copy the link of your forked copy of the repo and clone it

git clone https://github.com/[YOUR_USERNAME]/ecs-push.git
cd ecs-push

Step 1 - Create Docker Hub account

• Sign up for Docker Hub account @ https://hub.docker.com
• Create a repository called django-web
• Remember your repository name, username and password

Step 2 - Setup your environment files

• Create secrets environment variables script mv secrets.template.sh secrets.sh - Change to your credentials
• Create environment variables script mv env.template.sh env.sh - change:

DOCKER_REPO to your docker repo

DOCKER_USERNAME to your docker username

AWS_KEY_PAIR to your AWS Keypair

• From the project root directory source your secrets config script

source ./bin/secrets.sh

• From the project root directory run the ecs-cli config script

./bin/config-ecs-cli.sh

• Verify that the CLI is working properly: ecs-cli --version

• Then initiate the tests:

./bin/test-proj.sh

Step 3 - Stand up your ECS Cluster

• From the project root directory run the ecs-cli config script ./bin/standup-ecs-cluster.sh

Wait for the script to finish:

• Go to the AWS Console|Compute|EC2 Container Service and inspect your ECS Cluster
• Go to the AWS Console|Management Tools|Cloudformation and check to see that your stack assign-7-hacko has been created with a status of CREATE_COMPLETE

Step 4 - Configure Travis

1. Go to https://travis-ci.org
2. Hook up your repo to Travis
3. Click on + next to "My Repositories"
4. Click on the "gear" icon next to your repository
5. Configure environment variables

Create the following environment variables:

ECS CLUSTER replacing with assign7-hacko

DOCKER_USERNAME with your docker hub user name

DOCKER_PASSWORD with your docker hub password

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID with your aws access key id

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY with your aws secret access key

NOTE: Make sure that your AWS and Docker Hub credentials are not visible.

Step 5 - Deploy

Check your code in:

git add .
git commit -m 'some random ecs deploy test'
git push

Watch the travis console. When it completes swap over to your AWS Console|Compute|ECS Cluster

• Click on the assign7-hacko cluster
• Click on the assign7 service
• Click on the assign7:1 task definition
• Click on the web container
• Click on the external link address and you should see your DRF API up and running

Step 8 Destroy your cluster

ecs-cli down --force
