Service Creation workflow requires setup in both Task and Pipeline. Service Creation and deployment requires the latest image URL in order to deploy and this is generated during pipeline runtime. The workflow is separated into two parts where the user enters certain static information in the Tasks page and then links the task to the respective Docker step in the pipeline. The following step refers to the setup in Task.

1. Select Create AWS ECS Service from the Type drop down menu.

2. This then presents user with options that are required for service creation :

   • AWS Tool - Configured in Tool Registry

   • Required Compatibility

   • Cluster Name

   • Existing VPC

   • Desired Count - This is the count of deployments desired. Creation of the number of cluster replications. Number replications of the image that we are going to deploy

   • Service Log Group - any created name

   • Load Balancer ARN

   • Execution Role ARN

   • Subnets - Add any 2 subnets from drop down.

3. Save the Task to create a template.

Once this Task template is created, a pipeline can now be setup using this Task. Deployment requires the latest image URL in order to deploy and that is generated during pipeline runtime.

To set up an ECS Service Pipeline pipeline, create 3 pipeline steps: Build, Docker ECR Push and AWS ECS Deploy

• Build

• Docker ECR Push - Create a new pipeline step

  • Initial Setup: Create new pipeline step using Docker ECR Push as Tool and Save

  • Step Configuration:

    • Jenkins Tool -

    • Jenkins Job - DOCKER PUSH (must be created in selected Jenkins Tool)

    • AWS Credentials - Select an AWS account configured in Opsera Tool Registry

    • Build Step Info - Build

    • ECR Repository - Use an existing Repository or create a new one.

• AWS ECS Deploy - Create new pipeline step using AWS ECS Deploy as Tool.

  • Docker Step - Create a nameThe drop down displays the step name given to the docker step in the pipeline.

  • Service Task - Fetched from AWS ECS Service Tasks

  • Generate Dynamic Service Name toggle - currently not working, when it works the port name will not have to be changed for every pipeline runWhen switch is enabled, a unique service name for each pipeline run using the Dynamic Name Prefix given and the run count will be generated (for example: PrefixName -1, PrefixName-2)..

  • Dynamic Name Prefix - Enter a prefix to be prepended to the uniquely generated name.

  • Service Name Example - User has option to dynamically generate service names on runtime as AWS does not allow two services to have the same name. The user can give a prefix to the service and the pipeline will generate a unique service name with the prefix and the run count when the pipeline runs.

  • Service Container Port - This is the location where service will be deployed. *currently, service port must be changed for every pipeline run. Use only numbers.

  • Delete Existing Resources Before Deployment - Toggle on to delete the resource at the selected port before service deployment.
