AWS instructions

Services used

1. Elastic Container Registry
   • Used to upload and store images of different containers
2. Elastic Container Service
   • Running the containers as separate instances. Using Fargate clusters to run all container tasks in a single service
3. Elastic File System
   • Running storage for shared volumes (MySQL, ES, config, and processing data) storage.
4. EC2 Load balancer
   • Used to route traffic from PortML domain to correct instances on ECS
5. CloudWatch
   • Logging for ECS containers

Compiling AWS images

Uploading new images

Once per session connect docker to AWS ECR:

aws ecr get-login-password --region [AWS_REGION] | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin [AWS_ACCOUNT_ID].dkr.ecr.[AWS_REGION].amazonaws.com

Fill in the AWS region (twice) and the AWS account ID

Next tag your images to push:

docker tag [DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME] [AWS_ACCOUNT_ID].dkr.ecr.[AWS_REGION].amazonaws.com/[AWS_ECR_REPOSITORY_NAME]

When successful push the image to AWS ECR:

docker push [AWS_ACCOUNT_ID].dkr.ecr.[AWS_REGION].amazonaws.com/[AWS_ECR_REPOSITORY_NAME]

Setting the task definitions on AWS ECS

Copy .reactenv file in [FLASK directory] and rename to .reactenv_aws and set all the settings according to the AWS settings to be used

Instead of the default docker compose up command use the following chained commands to make use of the defined AWS compose file: docker-compose-aws.yml

docker-compose rm -f ; docker-compose pull ; docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-aws.yml up --build

Running config commands

aws ecs execute-command --region [AWS_REGION] --cluster fargate-cluster --task [TASKID] --container website --command "php index.php cron init_local_env" --interactive
