Summary of How to Deploy a Docker App to AWS using Elastic Container Service (ECS)

00:00:00 - 00:15:00

The video provides a comprehensive guide to deploying a Docker app to AWS using Elastic Container Service (ECS). It covers the prerequisite steps, including installing the AWS CLI and configuring it with ECR and ECS permissions. The presenter demonstrates how to create an image repository in ECR, upload the Docker image, and create a cluster in ECS. They create a task definition, customize it with various options, and add a container to it. The video concludes by explaining how to deploy the application to the EC2 machine and access the public IP address while updating the security group settings to allow incoming traffic.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the video, the presenter explains the prerequisites for deploying a Docker-based application to AWS Elastic Container Service, including the need to install the AWS CLI and configure it with a user that has ECR and ECS permissions. The demo application is a basic Flask app that serves random cat pictures. The presenter builds a Docker image and runs it locally to test the application before moving on to logging into ECR and creating a repository for the image. Finally, the image is uploaded to AWS ECR using a pre-configured command.
• 00:05:00 In this section, the video goes through the process of deploying a Docker app to AWS using Elastic Container Service (ECS). First, they created an image repository in Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and uploaded the Docker image using the push command. Next, they created a cluster in ECS, including defining options such as pricing model, networking, and security group. They then created a task definition using EC2 and set the task name, network mode, and memory. The video provides step-by-step instructions and helpful tips along the way.
• 00:10:00 In this section, the video demonstrates how to add a container to the task definition and port mapping for the Docker container, and how to deploy the application to the EC2 machine by running a task using the ECS cluster. The video also highlights how to access the public IP address of the machine and update the security group settings to allow incoming traffic. The video concludes by suggesting the viewers to check out the other AWS videos.
