A great tutorial thank you. It will make my transition from Lambda to ECS a lot easier

at 46:43, The value for MONGO_IP works with localhost. I was replicateing the same issue and the localhost values is now working for me. The error log says couldn't connect to localhost and I tried with container name too. Is anyone facing similar issue or has a resolution to it?

[@rinkeemishra]

very well explained. Thank you. I have one question though, I have mysql container running on EC2. Now when I am setting up my php application on another container on another ec2, what should be the value for following fields: severname, username, password, dbname in my database.php file

[@KodeKloud]

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.

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.

[@mayowapitan5870]

Thanks for the video bro. You covered many points and actually demystified ECS. God bless.

[@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.

​ @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"

[@henriqueb5637]

Awesome tutorial! It seems that AWS changed its user interface... in the new interface task definition there is no "startup dependency ordering" option like showed at 47:11 Can someone tell how can I specify these containers dependencies now? I need to make sure that the server only starts when the database is already running

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?

Great video explaining ECS in detail from all aspects! I appreciate it. I have a question: ECS is a good choice for container orchestration but the thing is I'm getting a high costing every month in CloudWatch for ECS monitoring (around 70$ per month). 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.

[@KodeKloud]

"- Check Dockerfile Path: Ensure the Dockerfile path in your build command is correct. - Dockerfile Naming: Confirm the file is named Dockerfile and is in the specified path. - Correct Directory: Run the Docker build command in the directory where your Dockerfile is, or specify the correct path. - Restart Docker: Sometimes, restarting the Docker service can resolve such issues. - Permissions: Check for any permissions issues with the /var/lib/docker/tmp directory. - Docker Version: Make sure your Docker version is compatible with your Dockerfile.

[@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."

[@ernestinedesireemotouom6307]

Thanks were helpful. Do you have any video on integrating ECS on the Jenkins pipeline via Jenkins file?

i want to deploy my docker image behind ECS on a single ec2 machine. as initially it won't have multiple ec2 machine, I wanted to skip load balancer to reduce cost, would you suggest what other way of connecting domain with SSL to ECS?

[@KodeKloud]

You can Install SSL on an Nginx Server which is deployed in ECS, please refer to stackoverflow.com/questions/40479534/aws-ssl-on-ec2-instance-without-load-balancer-nodejs#:~:text=From%20a%20high,the%20certs%20as%20described%20here

[@IhorKorotkyi-l6l]

In this setup with two instances of the app, wouldn’t there also be two instances of the database? Wouldn’t that result in the data being split between them?

[@rsrini7]

Loved it. Thanks

[@KodeKloud]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@iqbalmu]

Great tutorial. However, how would we secure this in terms of baselining the security posture, EDR, vulnerability scanning etc..?

[@KodeKloud]

To achieve this, there are additional steps that fall outside the scope of this video. These steps encompass actions like implementing IAM for access control, deploying ECS within VPCs, enforcing data encryption, conducting routine Docker image scans, and maintaining ECS instances through regular patching. We kindly ask for your patience as we will be covering these concepts in upcoming videos.

[@iqbalmu]

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."
