AWS Copilot: Containers on AWS

-

Beginning for Beginners


Use Case: It will highly useful in microservices deployment, where, only developers are responsible for infra deployment and management. So the developer can easily manage the infra from their local machine & create the deployment pipeline. This way they will save a lot of time, as time is directly proportional to money. Also, a company can reduce the cost for system admin or cloud engineer as these positions are not required in this kind of infra management. Basic docker and Linux knowledge are required at the developer end.

What is AWS Copilot…?

The AWS Copilot command-line interface (CLI) provides application-first, high-level commands to simplify modeling, creating, releasing, and managing production-ready containerized applications on Amazon ECS from a local development environment.

Provisioned with application templates, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD pipeline options, the AWS Copilot CLI aligns with application workflows that support modern application best practices. Use the AWS Copilot CLI as part of your everyday development and testing cycle as an alternative to the AWS Management Console.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, complete the following prerequisites:

  1. Set up an AWS account.
  2. Install the AWS Copilot CLI.
  3. Install and configure the AWS CLI.
  4. Run aws configure to set up a default profile that the AWS Copilot CLI will use to manage your application and services.
  5. Install Docker, Git

Let’s Get started with Installation part

Copilot Installation on Linux Server:

sudo curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/copilot https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli/releases/download/v0.1.0/copilot-linux-v0.1.0  \
   && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/copilot \
   && copilot --help

Install Docker & Git in Linux Server

yum install docker git  -y

As I am using EC2 Linux server so that I need to create a soft link for Copilot binary file to “/usr/bin/copilot” location

ln -s /usr/local/bin/copilot /usr/bin/copilot

Go to Opt directory and clone your empty git repo.

https://github.com/manikcloud/copilot

cd /opt/
  • AWS VPC
  • Subnets
  • Security Group
ECS Cluster
  • ECS Service
  • Fargate task
  • Service Discovery
  • ECR Repositories
  • Application Load balance
Conclusion:
I have successfully shown you all the steps for AWS Copilot installation and application deployment. All AWS infra {ECS, Tasks, Laodbalancer, IAM, VPC, and VPC related resources } has been created automatically in DevOps manner. In the end, we tested our Deployment ALB DNS to paste in a web browser, and our website is up and running.

5 Way to Save more time.

  Magic Bank Account  1. Each morning you get 86,400 seconds as a gift of life. 2. What ever you don't use on that day is forever lost. 3. Each morning your account is refilled, but the game can dissolve all your remaining time anytime without warning 1. Do strategic planning Most people just take one day at a time and then they wonder where the time went. Living reactively may take less brainpower but it also puts the world mostly in control. Whether you are in charge of a growing company or just your own future, you owe it to those affected to put some structure to your destiny. 2. Monitor your time As business guru Tom Peters said: What gets measured gets done. If you measure the time you spend you can identify areas where you can adjust and improve. Try measuring your time just for a week, or even a day. You'll be surprised where you find pockets of poorly used time that you can reapportion. 3. Prioritize your day Take a few minutes each morning to confirm with yourself th...

  Remember watching sci-fi movies with real-life images appearing in the middle of the room? While the world went gaga over such sci-fi elements in fiction, technology has evolved since and created what we call the ‘Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality superimposes or creates visuals layering a computer-generated (CG) image such as 3D objects, text, animations, video over the real world via a user interface. Today, various segments of the world like gaming, entertainment, the military are using augmented reality. But do you know why they are using this latest technology? Different segments are focusing on adding AR to improve the innovation and creativity in work. Another sector where the AR techniques prove beneficial is in classrooms. Do you want to why? We can take you through this piece of work! Augmented Reality in the Field of Education AR leveraged in education offers an enhanced learning experience in classrooms. It is proven that Augmented Reality improves a person’s criti...

For me, I’ve come up with different answers to these questions over the years. I sometimes think I’d pick Francd in 1789 (hello, Revolution!) or Peru in 1525, just before the fall of the Inca Empire. Other times I keep it closer to home, imagining a trip to 19th-century Poland or Palestine, to say hello to some ancestors I never got to meet ( grandfather paradox , shmaradox). Right this second I’d go with  three days ago, the last time I got a good night’s sleep. Thanks, parenthood. In your posts, feel free to make this challenge your own, and write in whatever style, format, or genre you wish — including ones that evoke the time you’re traveling to (do provide a translation if you go with  Egyptian hieroglyphs , please). Do you need a few more ideas to get you started? Well, you could: Be an invisible observer in a major event from the past. Or an active participant — whichever you prefer. Write a dialog between you and a person from the past (or a past...
