AWS Fargate Deployment Track

Objective

Deploy the containerized microservices using AWS Fargate, demonstrating your skills in container orchestration, serverless computing, and AWS services.

Technical Requirements

1. Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)

   • Provision a VPC with public and private subnets
   • Set up an ECS cluster with Fargate launch type
   • Configure necessary IAM roles and security groups
   • Set up an ECR repository for your container images
   • Create an Application Load Balancer

2. Containerization

   • Create a Dockerfile for the microservices
   • Build and push the Docker image to ECR

3. ECS/Fargate

   • Create ECS task definitions
   • Set up ECS services for your applications

4. CI/CD (GitHub Actions)

   • Implement a workflow for Terraform (lint, plan, apply)
   • Create a workflow for building and pushing Docker images
   • Implement a workflow for deploying to ECS/Fargate

5. Monitoring and Logging

   • Set up CloudWatch for container insights and application logging
   • (Bonus) Implement custom CloudWatch dashboards

Deliverables

1. GitHub repository containing:

   • Terraform code
   • Dockerfiles
   • ECS task definitions
   • GitHub Actions workflows
   • Application code (provided microservices)

2. Documentation:

   • Architecture diagram
   • Setup and deployment instructions
   • Monitoring and logging overview

Evaluation Criteria

1. Fargate cluster configuration and security
2. ECS task and service management
3. CI/CD pipeline efficiency and reliability
4. IaC quality and modularity
5. Containerization best practices
6. Monitoring and logging effectiveness
7. Documentation clarity and completeness
