AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) Terraform module

Terraform module which creates ECS resources on AWS.

This module focuses purely on ECS and nothing else. Therefore only these resources can be created with this module:

• ECS
• IAM

However, having said the above to have a proper ECS cluster up and running multiple resources are needed. In most cases creating these resources is heavily opinionated and or context-bound. That is why this module does not create these resources. But you still need them to have a production ready environment. Therefore the example area shows how to create everything needed for a production environment.

Terraform versions

Terraform 0.12. Pin module version to ~> v2.0. Submit pull-requests to master branch.

Terraform 0.11. Pin module version to ~> v1.0. Submit pull-requests to terraform011 branch.

Usage

module "ecs" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/ecs/aws"

  name = "my-ecs"
}

Conditional creation

Sometimes you need to have a way to create ECS resources conditionally but Terraform does not allow to use count inside module block, so the solution is to specify argument create_ecs.

# ECS cluster will not be created
module "ecs" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/ecs/aws"
  version = "~> 2.0"

  create_ecs = false
  # ... omitted
}
