First Container Launch

---

We are going to launch a nginx server in the Fargate.

• Logged in with a user ecs-course we created.
• Go to service Elastic Container Service
• Click get started
• We have to
• Define container
• Define task
• Define service
• Define Cluster

Define Container

• Select nginx
• Ensure Compatibilities as FARGATE
• We can change the configuration by click Edit, ex change the name to quickstart-nginx-td
• Click next and define the service

In the top image, you should notice, the Container and Task definition is completed by green check mark.

• From the Edit button we can change the service name and lets make the name quickstart-nginx-service
• Click next and define the cluster

In the top image this time the service should also get the green check mark.

• In cluster section, change the name to qucikstart-nginx-cluster
• Click next, review all the config and created all the services, it might take couple of minutes.
• After completion, we can view the services by clicking the View Service button.

Now, when we go to the ECS service dashboard, we should see our created cluster. Go to the cluster qucikstart-nginx-cluster

From the Task details, we can get the IP of the server. If we visit, we should see Welcome to nginx!.

To avoid any unnecessary costing/billing, select the service and delete it.

To delete,

• From ECS dashboard, select the cluster and go to details
• Select the service and delete it

To make sure the service is deleted, under the cluster dashboard, 0 services and 0 tasks are running.
