Build the Environments

In the Cloud9 workspace, run the following commands:

  • Ensure service linked roles exist for Load Balancers and ECS:
aws iam get-role --role-name "AWSServiceRoleForElasticLoadBalancing" || aws iam create-service-linked-role --aws-service-name "elasticloadbalancing.amazonaws.com"

aws iam get-role --role-name "AWSServiceRoleForECS" || aws iam create-service-linked-role --aws-service-name "ecs.amazonaws.com"

Application setup

In this section we will setup Container insights. In order to get started, we need to deploy the environment as well as a frontend service in ECS. If you deployed the microservices in the chapter prior, you can skip this step and move on to the next page.

Clone the repos

Clone the service repos:

cd ~/environment
git clone https://github.com/aws-containers/ecsdemo-platform
git clone https://github.com/aws-containers/ecsdemo-frontend
git clone https://github.com/aws-containers/ecsdemo-nodejs
git clone https://github.com/aws-containers/ecsdemo-crystal

Build the platform

First, we need to build the environment for our frontend service to run. For more information on what we’re building, you can review the code here: Platform.

cd ~/environment/ecsdemo-platform/cdk
pip install -r requirements.txt
cdk context --clear && cdk deploy --require-approval never

Deploy the microservices

Next, we will deploy a three-tier polyglot web app to our ECS cluster. For more information on what is being deployed, see the microservices section of the workshop.

cd ~/environment/ecsdemo-frontend/cdk
pip install -r requirements.txt
cdk context --clear && cdk deploy --require-approval never
cd ~/environment/ecsdemo-nodejs/cdk
pip install -r requirements.txt
cdk context --clear && cdk deploy --require-approval never
cd ~/environment/ecsdemo-crystal/cdk
pip install -r requirements.txt
cdk context --clear && cdk deploy --require-approval never

Next page

Once you’ve created the platform and deployed the services to the cluster, please move on to the next page.
