EssentialsIntroduction to Deploying Applications on AWS

Learning Objectives

• Understand the primary services for deploying your application on AWS

• Learn the basics of AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS CodeDeploy, and Amazon EC2 Container Service

• Gain an understanding of the strengths of each service and when to use them

Deployments are Not Easy

• Traditional environments favor in-place upgrades

• Resource constraints• Downtime• Dependencies• Fragile, High-Touch

Processes• Difficult rollback

Common Deployment Risks

ChallengesApplication failureInfrastructure failureCapacity issuesScaling issuesPeople failureProcess failureRollback issues

Business ImpactsDowntimeData lossBad customer experienceLost revenueGrumpy managersBurned out staffWasted time/resources

Benefits of Deploying with AWS Services

AWS:• Agile deployments• Flexible options• Scalable capacity• Automation capabilities

Elastic Beanstalk CodeDeploy EC2 ContainerService (ECS)

Deploy Web Applications without

Managing Infrastructure

Automate Code Deployments to EC2

and On-Premises

Easily Deploy on Managed Docker

Clusters

Three Choices for Deployment

Common Patterns

You want to simply deploy your web

application (code or container) without

managing the infrastructure.

You need a scalable cluster to run simple

and complex container

deployments.

You require a flexible tool to deploy and

update software on the instances you manage both on-

premises and in the cloud.

Elastic Beanstalk CodeDeploy EC2 ContainerService (ECS)

“I’ve been developing a Django application on my laptop and am ready to go into production.”

“We need a way to deploy and scale microservices across a cluster of instances.”

“We outsourced the development of a new web application that our contractor delivered as a WAR that we need to run and scale in production.”

“Our operations team manages a fleet of application servers, but we need more flexibility to do rolling updates.”

“We have a deployment that requires executing custom tasks before and after the installation while orchestrating the deployment without downtime.”

“Our dev teams are moving to Docker containers and we need to build a platform to support running them at scale in production.”

Use CasesElastic Beanstalk

CodeDeploy

EC2 Container Service

AWS Elastic Beanstalkdeploy and scale web applications and services developed with Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker

Benefits

Fast & simple to begin

Developer productivity

Impossible to outgrow

Complete resource control

AWS Elastic Beanstalk Overview

Your code

HTTP server

Application server

Language interpreter

Operating system

Instance

Elastic Beanstalk configures each EC2 instance in your environment with the components necessary to run applications for the selected platform. No more worrying about logging into instances to install and configure your application stack.

Focus on building your application

Deployment Configurations

Amazon EC2 Container Servicehighly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances

Amazon EC2 Container Service

• Highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker.

• Takes care of reliable state management and flexible scheduling for you.

Application fidelity from the developer desk to production.

Package your application and dependencies into a Docker container.

ECS Service Scheduler – Updating Your App

Deployment process:• Start with blue task definition

referenced by an ECS service • Create a green revision of the

existing task definition• Update existing ECS service to use

the updated task definition• ECS will deploy the new task

definition to container instances in a rolling fashion
