Scheduled task support by mhvelplund · Pull Request #73 · blinkist/terraform-aws-airship-ecs-service

I added support for deploying ECS scheduled tasks based on CloudWatch event rules, and I updated the website documentation.

hello everyone, I am finding a way to do CI/CD for the ECS services created by the Airship module. Ideally, I would like to make it work with Gitlab CI. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions/experience. Thanks!

Hey guys I’m having an issue with ecs service

module "prod-ecs-cluster" {
  source  = "blinkist/airship-ecs-cluster/aws"
  version = "0.5.1"

  name                    = "production"
  create_roles            = false
  create_autoscalinggroup = false
  tags                    = "${var.prod-account-tags}"
}

module "prod_xxx_fargate" {
  source  = "blinkist/airship-ecs-service/aws"
  version = "0.9.8"

  name            = "heartbeat"
  region          = "eu-west-1"
  fargate_enabled = true

  ecs_cluster_id = "${data.aws_ssm_parameter.prod_ecs_cluster_id.value}"

  awsvpc_enabled            = true
  awsvpc_subnets            = "${split(",", data.aws_ssm_parameter.prod_private_subnets.value)}"
  awsvpc_security_group_ids = ["${aws_security_group.prod_heartbeat.id}"]
  load_balancing_type = "none"
  load_balancing_properties_route53_record_type = "NONE"
  container_cpu                = "512"
  container_memory             = "1024"
  container_memory_reservation = "1024"
  container_name               = "heartbeat"
  capacity_properties_desired_capacity     = "1"
  capacity_properties_desired_min_capacity = "1"
  capacity_properties_desired_max_capacity = "1"
  bootstrap_container_image                = "XXXX.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/XXXX/heartbeat:latest"
  tags                                     = "${var.prod-tags}"
}

When applying I get this error

as a solution I reverted back to blinkist/airship-ecs-service/aws v 0.9.4 and set

load_balancing_properties_lb_arn                = "aXXXX"

i can reproduce your bug report with this snippet. i’ll try to fix it.

@IvanM & @joshmyers: I think I found the problem. stuff related to scheduled tasks added in PR #73 was being created even for non-scheduled tasks. I can run your example now with my fix. I’ll go over it a final time and create a pull request with the fix.

Guys is there pls a way how to in blinkist/airship-ecs-service/aws enable to access ECR from Fargate service in public subnets?

I have a fargate service without ALB/NLB in public subnets. I see that it does not assign public IP - I guess that is the issue

IvanM avatar

even if I assign ALB and have it deployed in public subnet I still can’t pull image from ECR

guys I would have a PR for the https://github.com/blinkist/terraform-aws-airship-ecs-service however, I can’t push to new branch Who should I contact in order to push it?

@maarten Hi Maarten I created a pull request regarding to Scheduled tasks. I wonder if you would like to use it. I created it because we have a situation, where we have multiple clusters, with the same service in each cluster. Therfore we needed an unique name for the cloudwatch event rule: https://github.com/blinkist/terraform-aws-airship-ecs-service/pull/77

Scheduled task name by Rolf88 · Pull Request #77 · blinkist/terraform-aws-airship-ecs-service

In case you need the same service name in multiple clusters. In case event rule can’t be named the same as the service.

Hi @IvanM, I can take a look. What is your use-case, have both internal and external lb connected ?

IvanM avatar

My use case is to have one Fargate service running and one NLB that will be listening on multiple ports - that means multiple target groups

Hello - I believe there is a problem with scaling in services in https://github.com/blinkist/terraform-aws-airship-ecs-service ; scale out works as expected but scaling in fails with an empty error message when triggered. There is little more details here https://github.com/blinkist/terraform-aws-airship-ecs-service/issues/79 . I have created the pull request https://github.com/blinkist/terraform-aws-airship-ecs-service/pull/78 which sets a metric_lower_bound for scaling in events and a metric_upper_bound for scaling out. This seem to fix the problem in our case at least.
