Presentation Overview:
- Introduce Terraform, a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure as code
- Configure an ECS cluster leveraging the Segment Stack, a set of Terraform modules for configuring production infrastructure with AWS
- Customize the Terraform code to add tasks to the ECS cluster to run microservices and workers using docker containers.
We will also briefly cover the use of AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild to setup a pipeline from a git repository to build the container and deploy different environments (dev, production) onto the ECS cluster.
