Prerequisites

To perform this workshop, you’ll need the following:

• aws-cli. Installation instructions here
• Setup your AWS account credentials aws configure
• node.js. Installation instructions here and version should be >= 8.12.0
• IDE or editor of choice.
• aws-cdk. Installation instructions: npm install -g aws-cdk

Setup workspace with Typescript

• Compile your Typescript code: Open a new terminal tab and navigate to the project directory. Run npm run watch
• Open your IDE or editor of choice and explore the project structure. App's entry point is cdk.json -> bin/aws-cdk-advanced-ecs-scheduling.ts -> lib/aws-cdk-advanced-ecs-scheduling-stack.ts

Synthesize and deploy

• cdk synth generates an AWS CloudFormation template for your application stack.
• The first time you deploy an AWS CDK app into an environment (account/region), you’ll need to install a “bootstrap stack”. cdk bootstrap
• Let's deploy. cdk deploy. Once the deployment completes, you can look at your load balanced service URL as an output.

Clean up

• cdk destroy
