[@dougrosenberg2361]

Gonna ask a noob question: I am somewhat familiar with most of these technologies. But I struggled getting the ECS-Project1 from Dockerhub and actually getting the application code into VS Code. I could load the container into the docker extension, but couldn't find source code, just files like bin, boot, dev, etc.

[@thefin4lb0ss]

Hey mate, I believe the purpose was not to have the code on your machine itself. Although having the source code would be helpful so we could make our own changes and what not, that would have turned into more of a Docker course. I believe just having access to the repository was enough. I think a good exercise for us to try is to make our own service and deploy onto ECS. And use the techniques described in the video.

I took Python course by Sanjeev in his youtube channel and it was really helful for me. I was waiting for his course on KodeKloud from the day he announced that he is joining KK. 💆‍♂️

It will forward to the IP and Port of containers. You need to configure Container to load balance and AWS will do its job correctly.

Thanks for this easy-to-understand tutorial. I have a question. If I have an application that consists of 10 processes, would each of the processes be a single task in a cluster? or is it ok to put all the tasks to be started as part of one dockerfile? Or should I have a cluster for each process?

Sir i have the api with different containerrs how i rount. Web app traffic to api container through internal app load balancer

[@KodeKloud]

"To deploy web app traffic to an API container through an internal ALB in AWS ECS: - Create a task definition with both web app and API containers. - Configure an internal ALB to listen on the API container's port. - Define an ECS service with the task definition and target group for the API container. - Configure the web app to use the internal ALB's DNS name as the API endpoint. - Deploy the service, and the internal ALB will handle traffic distribution."

Currently experiencing difficulty with the first project. The AWS console UI has changed and a lot of the workflow has changed as well. Nonetheless, after trial and error, I have managed to setup a service ran by Fargate, using the default options (VPCs, Task Group ...). Every Health Check has passed, but I cannot connect to instance via public IP. Fully aware that it is on http, I have tried multiple browsers with the http protocol.

Hey, the servername is ip EC2 mysql, the username, and password is information that you have configured when you install Mysql. Then you do want to create a database name on Mysql instance, using this name for dbname.

​ @KodeKloud Great tutorial, this is very detail! Just wondering if you develop an enterprise project, how you keep / maintain the data that are inside Mongodb? I believe you can't access the container in AWS Fargate.

[@KodeKloud]

"To access MongoDB deployed in AWS ECS: - Identify the MongoDB container. - Obtain the container's IP or DNS. - Connect using a MongoDB client, specifying the container's IP or DNS. - Authenticate if required and interact with the MongoDB database. Ensure proper security configurations and permissions are in place for accessing the MongoDB container. Please read docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/bestpracticesguide/storage.html#storage-choosing for choosing Persistent storage"

[@ramanjaneyulujagannadh2668]

Can you please differentiate docker-compose.yml and task definition, exactly

[@KodeKloud]

"Docker Compose (docker-compose.yml): Purpose: Tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications, ideal for local development. Environment: Local machines. Key Trait: Portability; run your container stack on any machine with Docker and Docker Compose. ECS Task Definitions: Purpose: Configuration to define how containerized applications should run on Amazon's Elastic Container Service (ECS). Environment: AWS's ECS service. Key Trait: AWS-specific; integrates deeply with AWS services like IAM, CloudWatch, etc."

Please show this with cli using task-def.yaml and service.yaml file

Great video explaining ECS in detail from all aspects! I appreciate it.

Please suggest a cost optimization measure to overcome this and is there any 3rd party tools which i can use for monitoring my containers in ECS at a minimal cost. It would be great if you could make an video on monitoring for ECS.
