The repository contains the terraform code to deploy Grafana and PostgreSql 

on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS).

## Cloud Architecture

The following diagram shows the architecture of the deployment. It consists of 

two services `grafana` and `postgres` running on ECS. The `grafana` service

is connected to the `postgres` service using the official Grafana PostgreSql

plugin. Through this connection, Grafana can visualize the data stored in the

PostgreSql database. Furthermore, the `grafana` service is exposed to the

internet using an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB).

* `src` contains the source code for the `grafana` and `postgres` services.

* `ops/repository` contains the terraform code to create the Elastic Container

  Registry (ECR) repository, and required IAM roles.

* `ops/ecs` contains the terraform code to create the ECS cluster, services,

## Usage 

1. Follow the instructions in the [ops/repository/README.md](./ops/repository/README.md)

   to create the Elastic Container Registry (ECR) repository and required IAM roles.

2. Follow the instruction in the [ops/ecs/README.md](./ops/ecs/README.md) to deploy

   the `grafana` and `postgres` services on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS).
