Very good tutorial.

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

Many thanks :)

Could you upload a video demonstrating how to connect a backend using RDS MySQL and set up an auto-scaling group? It will be really helpful.

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

Thanks for sharing. You can consider our AWS Master course for beginners where we are sharing what you are requesting and even more..... Check it out on our website !

[@dilawarsangha1276]

I did all these steps same but on ECS Service got error Resource handler returned message: "Error occurred during operation 'ECS Deployment Circuit Breaker was triggered'." (RequestToken: e9677b16-dd46-6c47-6744-90bd562fb54a, HandlerErrorCode: GeneralServiceException)

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

Please book a call with us so we can check it out together. We tested few time with different computers and everything is working fine

[@christoff124]

You didn't install docker on the instance. You have to ssh in and install docker

[@NehalVerma-zr4mq]

I followed each and every step but was not able to make it to last. my aws application load balancer Target group showed unhealthy and i got this error populated on my ECS "Error occurred during operation 'ECS Deployment Circuit Breaker was triggered'. Please let me know what i did wrong.

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

Thanks for sharing. Appreciated. We had this in the past. It happens because of security group. Please follow the same instruction in this tutorial. it need to work for you. We tried that so many time. So we know for sure it's working.

[@AuxiliaryOfficial]

same error

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

Thanks for sharing. Is the app healthy? Typically the circuit breaker is triggered when the app does not bootstrap correctly and is deemed as unhealthy. Start looking into this: repost.aws/knowledge-center/ecs-task-container-health-check-failures Make sure you are following every step in the video and not mission anything. Do the same thing and it will work for you.

docker is not installed ....have to ssh in and install docker

[@christoff124]

How did you deploy docker without installing docker through ssh?

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

You can watch this tutorial. Starting minute 06:28 if you want to know how to install docker on Ubuntu server. I guess in the original tutorial. I already installed docker as part of the preparation. But watch the video below. It will help you. It’s the same ec2 instance Install & Run Ollama on AWS Linux: Easily Install Llama3 or Any LLM Using Ollama and WebUI kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGa7eHR-ip2UotU

@@ScaleUpSaaS I think fargate has docker pre installed one image. Because I tried again followed your instructions exactly, and now it works. I think the problem was I was skipping the load balancer. I tried taking it further down the pipeline and do pipeline, but... it throws an error SOURCE NOT FOUND whenever it tells codebuild to get the image from git commit🤔. Not worried about it. Its a small project and its takes only 1 git push to deploy. good enough for me. Not even sure how long this freelance project will last. thanks though for your up to date tutorial. liking and subscribing

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

@@christoff124 sure. Feel free to ask questions. If you are using Mac, I will suggest you to build the docker image via Ubuntu machine.

[@ScaleUpSaaS]

Happy to hear that it’s working for you. We know the tutorial is a little bit long. But once you follow every steps exactly. It will work for you for sure 👍
