ecspresso can easily manage for your existing/running ECS service by codes.

Try ecspresso init for your ECS service with option --region, --cluster and --service.

$ ecspresso init --region ap-northeast-1 --cluster default --service myservice --config config.yaml
2019/10/12 01:31:48 myservice/default save service definition to ecs-service-def.json
2019/10/12 01:31:48 myservice/default save task definition to ecs-task-def.json
2019/10/12 01:31:48 myservice/default save config to config.yaml

Let me see the generated files config.yaml, ecs-service-def.json, and ecs-task-def.json.

And then, you already can deploy the service by ecspresso!

$ ecspresso deploy --config config.yaml

YAML format.

region: ap-northeast-1
cluster: default
service: myService
task_definition: myTask.json
timeout: 5m

ecspresso deploy works as below.

• Register a new task definition from JSON file.
  • JSON file is allowed both of formats as below.
    • aws ecs describe-task-definition output.
    • aws ecs register-task-definition --cli-input-json input.
  • Replace {{ env `FOO` `bar` }} syntax in the JSON file to environment variable "FOO".
    • If "FOO" is not defined, replaced by "bar"
  • Replace {{ must_env `FOO` }} syntax in the JSON file to environment variable "FOO".
    • If "FOO" is not defined, abort immediately.
• Update a service tasks.
  • When --update-service option set, update service attributes by service definition.
• Wait a service stable.

Configuration files and task/service definition files are read by go-config. go-config has template functions env, must_env and json_escape.

$ ecspresso deploy --config config.yaml

ecspresso create can create a service having CODE_DEPLOY deployment controller. See ecs-service-def.json below.

{
  "deploymentController": {
    "type": "CODE_DEPLOY"
  },
  # ...
}

Currently, ecspresso doesn't create any resources on CodeDeploy. You must create an application and a deployment group for your ECS service on CodeDeploy in the other way.

ecspresso deploy creates a new deployment for CodeDeploy, and it continues on CodeDeploy.

$ ecspresso deploy --config config.yaml --rollback-events DEPLOYMENT_FAILURE

CodeDeploy appspec hooks can be defined in a config file. ecspresso creates Resources and version elements in appspec on deploy automatically.

cluster: default
service: test
service_definition: ecs-service-def.json
task_definition: ecs-task-def.json
appspec:
  Hooks:
    - BeforeInstall: "LambdaFunctionToValidateBeforeInstall"
    - AfterInstall: "LambdaFunctionToValidateAfterTraffic"
    - AfterAllowTestTraffic: "LambdaFunctionToValidateAfterTestTrafficStarts"
    - BeforeAllowTraffic: "LambdaFunctionToValidateBeforeAllowingProductionTraffic"
    - AfterAllowTraffic: "LambdaFunctionToValidateAfterAllowingProductionTraffic"

To change desired count of the service, specify --tasks option.

If --skip-task-definition is set, task definition will not be registered.

$ ecspresso deploy --config config.yaml --tasks 10 --skip-task-definition

escpresso can create a service by service_definition JSON file and task_definition.

$ ecspresso create --config config.yaml
...

# config.yaml
service_definition: service.json

example of service.json below.

{
  "role": "ecsServiceRole",
  "desiredCount": 2,
  "loadBalancers": [
    {
      "containerName": "myLoadbalancer",
      "containerPort": 80,
      "targetGroupArn": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:[region]:[account-id]:targetgroup/{target-name}/201ae83c14de522d"
    }
  ]
}

Keys are same format as aws ecs describe-services output.

• deploymentConfiguration
• launchType
• loadBalancers
• networkConfiguration
• placementConstraint
• placementStrategy
• role
• etc.

$ ecspresso run --config config.yaml --task-def=db-migrate.json

When --task-def is not set, use a task definition included in a service.

Other options for RunTask API are set by service attributes(CapacityProviderStrategy, LaunchType, PlacementConstraints, PlacementStrategy and PlatformVersion).

If you want to deploy services to Fargate, task-definition and service-definition requires some settings.

For task definition,

• requiresCompatibilities (required "FARGATE")
• networkMode (required "awsvpc")
• cpu (required)
• memory (required)
• executionRoleArn (optional)

{
  "taskDefinition": {
    "networkMode": "awsvpc",
    "requiresCompatibilities": [
      "FARGATE"
    ],
    "cpu": "1024",
    "memory": "2048",
    // ...
}

For service-definition,

• launchType (required "FARGATE")
• networkConfiguration (required "awsvpcConfiguration")

{
  "launchType": "FARGATE",
  "networkConfiguration": {
    "awsvpcConfiguration": {
      "subnets": [
        "subnet-aaaaaaaa",
        "subnet-bbbbbbbb"
      ],
      "securityGroups": [
        "sg-11111111"
      ],
      "assignPublicIp": "ENABLED"
    }
  },
  // ...
}

1. Set capacityProviders and defaultCapacityProviderStrategy to ECS cluster.
2. If you hope to migrate existing service to use Fargate Spot, define capacityProviderStrategy into service definition as below. ecspresso deploy --update-service applies the settings to the service.

{
  "capacityProviderStrategy": [
    {
      "base": 1,
      "capacityProvider": "FARGATE",
      "weight": 1
    },
    {
      "base": 0,
      "capacityProvider": "FARGATE_SPOT",
      "weight": 1
    }
  ],
  # ...

tfstate plugin introduces a template function tfstate.

config.yaml

region: ap-northeast-1
cluster: default
service: test
service_definition: ecs-service-def.json
task_definition: ecs-task-def.json
plugins:
- name: tfstate
  config:
    path: terraform.tfstate    # path to tfstate file

ecs-service-def.json

{
  "networkConfiguration": {
    "awsvpcConfiguration": {
      "subnets": [
        "{{ tfstate `aws_subnet.private-a.id` }}"
      ],
      "securityGroups": [
        "{{ tfstate `data.aws_security_group.default.id` }}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

{{ tfstate "resource_type.resource_name.attr" }} will expand to an attribute value of the resource in tfstate.
