Sets up the following AWS infrastructure:

• Networking:
  • VPC
  • Public and private subnets
  • Routing tables
  • Internet Gateway
  • Key Pairs
• Security Groups
• Load Balancers, Listeners, and Target Groups
• IAM Roles and Policies
• ECS:
  • Task Definition (with multiple containers)
  • Cluster
  • Service
• Auto scaling config
• RDS
• Health Checks and Logs

Check out the tutorial.

1. Install Terraform

2. Sign up for an AWS account

3. Create two ECR repositories, django-app and nginx.

4. Fork/Clone

5. Build the Django and Nginx Docker images and push them up to ECR:

   $ cd app
   $ docker build -t <AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/django-app:latest .
   $ docker push <AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/django-app:latest
   $ cd ..
   
   $ cd nginx
   $ docker build -t <AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/nginx:latest .
   $ docker push <AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/nginx:latest
   $ cd ..

6. Update the variables in terraform/variables.tf.

7. Set the following environment variables, init Terraform, create the infrastructure:

   $ cd terraform
   $ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"
   $ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
   
   $ terraform init
   $ terraform apply
   $ cd ..

8. Terraform will output an ALB domain. Create a CNAME record for this domain for the value in the allowed_hosts variable.

9. To apply the migrations, run the following command, making sure to replace YOUR_SUBNET_1, YOUR_SUBNET_2, and YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP with the values that were outputted to your terminal from the terraform apply command:

   $ aws ecs run-task \
       --cluster production-cluster \
       --task-definition django-migration-task \
       --launch-type FARGATE \
       --network-configuration "awsvpcConfiguration={subnets=[YOUR_SUBNET_1, YOUR_SUBNET_2],securityGroups=[YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP],assignPublicIp=ENABLED}"

10. Now you can open https://your.domain.com/admin. Note that http:// won't work.

11. To collect the static files, navigate to the "deploy" folder, create and activate a Python virtual environment, install the requirements, and then run the following command, making sure to replace <AWS_ACCOUNT_ID> with your AWS account ID:

    (env)$ python update-ecs.py \
            --cluster=production-cluster \
            --service=production-service \
            --image="<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/django-app:latest" \
            --container-name django-app

    You can use the same command to bump the Task Definition and update the Service.
