How to create a Continuous Deployment process using ECS Fargate Docker Travis

Introduction

We are sharing this article to help your team adopt a continuous deployment process so you can iterate on product faster, and push site updates seamlessly.

Here is a brief overview of how the development process works:

• You push a commit on a Github branch
• Travis is triggered based on this commit and will start building docker image based on your GitHub Dockerfile
• Travis pushes the docker image on your ECR repository
• Finally, Travis executes scripts to make deploy on an ECS-Fargate cluster
• Optional: You could make the same job as Travis but with AWS CodePipeline

You must know some concepts first:

• VPC
• Security groups
• Elastic container services
• Fargate concepts
• Load Balancer
• Auto Scaling
• Docker
• Travis
• Subnetting concepts
