Use this template to create a ECS (Fargate backed) cluster with load balancer, IAM role, autoscaling policies etc.

## Prerequisites

Create the VPC using [vpc-stack]() template. This template reads the exported values from the vpc-stack. 

It launches the load balancer in public subnets and ECS Containers in the private subnets.

## Architecture

A simplified view of the architecture is as follows -

## How to use

Checkout the repository and execute from cli. Remember to select the correct profile

```

aws cloudformation validate-template --template-body file://ecs-stack.yaml \

  --profile aws-dev-account --region us-east-1 

```

This should display the parameters - validating the template syntax is fine. Next, create the stack

```

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name ecs-stack --template-body file://ecs-stack.yaml \

  --profile  aws-dev-account --region us-east-1

```

Or, copy the template and create the stack from Cloudformation console.

## Alternative

You could also create the same set of resources using Terraform, if you prefer. Take a look at my [Terraform repo](https://github.com/abiydv/terraform/tree/master/ecs)
