Day-1 : Understanding AWS ECS / ECR better with Docker Container Build

Cloud Research

• Went through the online course module on the AWS ECS for deploying containers on EC2 Instance type launch and Fargate type launch.

• AWS Documentation

  • AWS ECS Developer Guide
  • AWS Fargate Serverless

• Docker Documentation

  • Dockercon 2022 starter video
  • Read up the documentation

Hands On Today

• Installed docker engine manually on my practice machine via SSH

• Practice with different images / containers

  • $ docker pull
  • $ docker run
  • $ docker build

• Took my github project from last month and made a microservice container out of it with below configuration

  • $ docker build --tag shrink .
  • $ docker run --env-file api_keys shrink

• Dockerfile for container build

  FROM python:3.10.7-alpine
  WORKDIR /app
  COPY . .
  RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  ENTRYPOINT ["python","shrink.py"]
  CMD ["python","shrink.py", "-h"]

Social Proof

I will just post it on Discord channel for today I guess ;)
