ECS Cluster via Terraform

This module will allow you to deploy an ECS Cluster composed of raw EC2 instances that are managed by an Auto Scaling Group. From here you can bring in your own modules to deploy ECS Services and task definitions, or you can use ours. Though you can run this on its own, we recommend running it together with all of the modules you need for your CI/CD solution as part of a complete assembly line style process.

Prerequisites

First, you need a decent understanding of how to use Terraform. Hit the docs for that. Then, you should familiarize yourself with ECS concepts, especially if you've never worked with a clustering solution before. Once you're good, import this module and pass the appropriate variables. Then, plan your run and deploy.

Example Usage

NOTE If you wish to hook in logging middleware such as fluentd, you must pass the necessary params to ecs_logging. Check out our fluentd module to see how we terraform fluentd and for more information on how all the pipes connect together.

module "ecs_cluster" {
  source  = "7Factor/ecs-cluster/aws"
  version = "~> 1"

  vpc_id                = "${var.vpc_id}"
  utility_accessible_sg = "${var.utility_accessible_sg}"
  asg_subnets           = "${var.web_private_subnets}"
  key_name              = "${var.ecs_key_name}"
  instance_type         = "t2.medium"
  ecs_logging           = "[\\\"json-file\\\",\\\"awslogs\\\",\\\"fluentd\\\"]"
  desired_capacity      = 2
  min_size              = 2
  max_size              = 4
}

Migrating from github.com/7factor/terraform-ecs-cluster

This is the new home of the terraform-ecs-cluster. It was copied here so that changes wouldn't break services relying on the old repo. Going forward, you should endeavour to use this version of the module. More specifically, use the module from the Terraform registry. This way, you can select a range of versions to use in your service which allows us to make potentially breaking changes to the module without breaking your service.

Migration instructions

You need to change the module source from the GitHub url to 7Factor/ecs-cluster/aws. This will pull the module from the Terraform registry. You should also add a version to the module block. See the example above for what this looks like together.

Major version 1 is intended to maintain backwards compatibility with the old module source. To use the new module source and maintain compatibility, set your version to "~> 1". This means you will receive any updates that are backwards compatible with the old module.
