For Production, I would chose CloudFormation + ECS/Elastic Beanstalk + RDS. With ECS/Elastic Beanstalk, you can directly deploy your container, without having to worry about the docker host, set/change environment variables during deploy, easy to scale up/down

@ChandraShettigar

Yes I agree - for production or even some non-production environments, I would pick CloudFormation + ECS + RDS. The purpose of this video was to demonstrate CloudFormation with some use-case for which I chose Docker installation. I was expecting a comment and feedback like this :) I am thinking to make a few videos around "CloudFormation + ECS + AutoScale" which I think might be a series of short videos or a course. Thanks!

I like the way you edit your videos, which makes it crisp, clear and concise. If I may suggest, 3:47-4:00 you should mask your AWS secrets as anyone can use it to hack your AWS account (hope you deleted the IAM user used in this video :) )

Thanks for tutorial. How to auto-populate RDS hostname in docker-compose yml file, instead of waiting and pasting?

@ChandraShettigar

This is not a recommend approach for a real production stack but if you are just trying to automate the process of what is being done in this tutorial, one quick option would be to use CloudFormation Output variable. You can define CloudFormation output, value of which will be "!GetAtt DatabaseInstance.Endpoint.Address". Once the stack is created, you could write a small shell script to describe stack (using AWS CLI - aws cloudformation describe-stack ..), grep the output value and assign it to an env variable. In the compose file app.yml, read the database endpoint from that environment variable. I don't think you can avoid waiting but have the script wait until the RDS instance is ready before starting docker app. As I mentioned in this short tutorial, you could use CloudFormation itself to automate your stack (infra & app). Eg: To define and automate tracking of completion state of resources and then deploy the application. ECS is one good option where you don't deal with docker compose but define all the container services in CloudFormation template.

Great tutorial. Thanks Chanda. Could you please guide me how I can create a docker image and push it to ECR using cloudformation. Thanks in advance

@ChandraShettigar

Thanks for the feedback Vikas. I am not exactly sure I understood your question. If you're trying to automate the process of creating docker image on every code commit and that you want that image be pushed over to the registry, that would be to create a simple or part of CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline. If that's what you're looking to build using CloudFormation and entirely on AWS, here is a high level of what goes into CloudFormation stack definition, 1. Create code repository resource (AWS::CodeCommit::Repository); You would use this as your source repo. 2. Create container image registry resource (AWS::ECR::Repository); This is where you would want the docker images pushed. 3. Create code build project resource (AWS::CodeBuild::Project), the source for this will be CodeCommit repo. Environment of CodeBuild project is where you would define the instructions to build docker image and push to registry. You will probably need to define buildspec.yml in the root of your code repo with necessary instructions to build & push. You may configure code build project to trigger on every code commit. I haven't used CodeBuild but if I were to create a CI on AWS, this is how I would go about. Now you can use Github code repository instead of CodeCommit in which case the Source definition of CodeBuild project will require some additional inputs. I hope this helps.

Hi sir,,, am unable to install Jenkins via cloud formation... Plz help with script for installing Jenkins via cloud formation

I had one question in docker.How the developers work culture would be using containerization concept like check in and checkouts and how the developer environment is to be created on demand to test their own code etc

@ChandraShettigar

6 жыл бұрын

In general containerized development environment helps the developers in several ways, 1. Consistent runtime, libraries, database versions - that means developers don't have to worry about installing, upgrading software versions and focus on application development. No tooling blockers and focus on getting the things done. 2. Consistent OS - this is a big plus. Developers can use any OS of their choice in the local environment. The basic OS & libraries that is needed for application is packaged in the container. This helps when you have a mix of developers that have preference for their primary OS. With the application dockerized, setting up environments on demand or the first time one a developer machine is all quick an easy. You probably need to write some scripts to seed data to the environment you spin up. If the application is not run as containers in production you can still containerize in development and CI environments to use the exact same versions of OS, libraries and softwares. That still helps. Sometimes it is hard to introduce containerization or docker in a dev team. For some it is some new tool to learn which takes back seat. But once introduced the team will notice improvement in productivity. I hope that answers your question.

Using your config, I got an error while the task was creating the EC2 instance. "The specified instance type can only be used in a VPC. A subnet ID or network interface ID is required to carry out the request."

@ChandraShettigar

6 жыл бұрын

Likely there is no default VPC. If there isn't one already, you might want to create a default vpc and try again. FYI - To create default on aws management console - under services, go to VPCs and from 'Actions' dropdown you should be able to create a new default vpc. Make sure to delete the failed stack before you try running 'aws cloudformation create ... " command. Hope this helps.

How can add extra root volume to the instance when it is creating

@ChandraShettigar

6 жыл бұрын

Thimma Reddy, Did you mean EBS block device mapping or create some directories to mount to the container? If it's about creating directories to mount to containers, you can add those commands in the UserData. If you're looking to add EBS kinda stuff, you might want to refer the CloudFormation EC2 reference documentation & examples. Following links might help - docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ec2-instance.html docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ec2-instance.html#cfn-ec2-instance-blockdevicemappings docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/quickref-ec2.html

This is a terrible way to handle passwords for your database.

@ChandraShettigar

James, I agree that using environment variables for database passwords without any encryption is not secure. Scope of this video was very minimal and is a get-started type for cloud-formation & container application. Besides the database password (or in general secret configs - using some encryption or secret management solutions) there are many other topics that the application team need to consider before the application and infrastructure is production-ready.
