The AWS ECS deployment guide in the cookbook now includes a CDK (Cloud Development Kit) option for automated deployment. This has been implemented in a new directory aws-ecs-cdk-deployment.
Implementation details:
Created a new directory aws-ecs-cdk-deployment with CDK stack definition
Implemented CDK stack using TypeScript, including:
VPC creation
ECS cluster setup
Docker image building and pushing to ECR
Fargate service with Application Load Balancer
Reused existing app.py and Dockerfile from the manual deployment guide
Updated README.md to include instructions for CDK deployment
Key features of the CDK implementation:
Uses aws-cdk-lib for infrastructure definition
Creates a VPC with 2 Availability Zones
Sets up an ECS cluster
Builds and pushes Docker image to ECR
Creates a Fargate service with Application Load Balancer
Outputs the URI of the Docker image
Benefits:
Simplified deployment process (single cdk deploy command)
Infrastructure-as-Code approach for better version control and reproducibility
Easier customization and extension of the deployment setup
Support for both x86 and ARM-based development environments
Next steps:
Review and merge the implemented changes
Update the main cookbook README to reference this new deployment option
Consider adding more advanced features like custom domain setup, SSL certificates, etc.
Feedback and suggestions for improvements are welcome!
