Overview

This repository provides a Terraform configuration to deploy an AWS ECS cluster with multiple services, tasks, and load balancers. The configuration uses best practices for security, scalability, and high availability.

Architecture

The architecture consists of:

ECS Cluster: A scalable and highly available ECS cluster with multiple instances. Services: Multiple ECS services, each with its own task definition, container instance, and load balancer. Load Balancers: Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) to distribute traffic across the ECS services. Container Registry: An AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) to store and manage container images.

Features

• Scalable ECS Cluster: A highly available ECS cluster with multiple instances, allowing for easy scaling and high availability.
• Multiple Services: Multiple ECS services, each with its own task definition, container instance, and load balancer.
• Load Balancing: Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) to distribute traffic across the ECS services.
• Container Registry: An AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) to store and manage container images.
• CloudWatch Alarms: CloudWatch alarms to monitor the ECS cluster's performance and trigger notifications.
• Security Groups: Security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic for the ECS instances.

Requirements

• AWS Account: An existing AWS account with necessary permissions (e.g., IAM user or root account).
• Terraform: Terraform version 1.3.4 or later installed on your machine.
• ECR Credentials: ECR credentials to access and manage container images.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine using git clone https://github.com/andresinho20049/iac-aws-ecs-with-terraform.git.
2. Update Variables: Update the variables.tf file with your environment-specific values (e.g., AWS region, account ID, ECR repository names).
3. Run Terraform: Run terraform init and terraform apply to deploy the ECS cluster.
4. Verify Deployment: Verify the deployment using the AWS console or Terraform output.

Notes

• This configuration assumes you have an existing AWS account with necessary permissions (e.g., IAM user or root account).
• The configuration uses default values for some parameters, so be sure to review and update them according to your environment.
• This is just a starting point; you may need to modify the configuration to suit your specific use case.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
