CDK Construct library for higher-level ECS Constructs

This library provides higher-level Amazon ECS constructs which follow common architectural patterns. It contains:

Application Load Balanced Services
Network Load Balanced Services
Queue Processing Services
Scheduled Tasks (cron jobs)
Additional Examples

Application Load Balanced Services

To define an Amazon ECS service that is behind an application load balancer, instantiate one of the following:

ApplicationLoadBalancedEc2Service

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedEcsService = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationLoadBalancedEc2Service(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('test'),
    environment: {
      TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE1: "test environment variable 1 value",
      TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE2: "test environment variable 2 value",
    },
    command: ['command'],
    entryPoint: ['entry', 'point'],
  },
  desiredCount: 2,
});

ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedFargateService = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  cpu: 512,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
    command: ['command'],
    entryPoint: ['entry', 'point'],
  },
});

loadBalancedFargateService.targetGroup.configureHealthCheck({
  path: "/custom-health-path",
});

Example not in your language?

Instead of providing a cluster you can specify a VPC and CDK will create a new ECS cluster. If you deploy multiple services CDK will only create one cluster per VPC.

You can omit cluster and vpc to let CDK create a new VPC with two AZs and create a cluster inside this VPC.

You can customize the health check for your target group; otherwise it defaults to HTTP over port 80 hitting path /.

You can customize the health check configuration of the container via the healthCheck property; otherwise it defaults to the health check configuration from the container.

Fargate services will use the LATEST platform version by default, but you can override by providing a value for the platformVersion property in the constructor.

Fargate services use the default VPC Security Group unless one or more are provided using the securityGroups property in the constructor.

By setting redirectHTTP to true, CDK will automatically create a listener on port 80 that redirects HTTP traffic to the HTTPS port.

If you specify the option recordType you can decide if you want the construct to use CNAME or Route53-Aliases as record sets.

If you need to encrypt the traffic between the load balancer and the ECS tasks, you can set the targetProtocol to HTTPS.

Additionally, if more than one application target group are needed, instantiate one of the following:

ApplicationMultipleTargetGroupsEc2Service

// One application load balancer with one listener and two target groups.
declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedEc2Service = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationMultipleTargetGroupsEc2Service(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 256,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
  },
  targetGroups: [
    {
      containerPort: 80,
    },
    {
      containerPort: 90,
      pathPattern: 'a/b/c',
      priority: 10,
    },
  ],
});

ApplicationMultipleTargetGroupsFargateService

// One application load balancer with one listener and two target groups.
declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedFargateService = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationMultipleTargetGroupsFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  cpu: 512,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
  },
  targetGroups: [
    {
      containerPort: 80,
    },
    {
      containerPort: 90,
      pathPattern: 'a/b/c',
      priority: 10,
    },
  ],
});

Network Load Balanced Services

To define an Amazon ECS service that is behind a network load balancer, instantiate one of the following:

NetworkLoadBalancedEc2Service

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedEcsService = new ecsPatterns.NetworkLoadBalancedEc2Service(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('test'),
    environment: {
      TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE1: "test environment variable 1 value",
      TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE2: "test environment variable 2 value",
    },
  },
  desiredCount: 2,
});

Example not in your language?

NetworkLoadBalancedFargateService

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedFargateService = new ecsPatterns.NetworkLoadBalancedFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  cpu: 512,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
  },
});

Example not in your language?

The CDK will create a new Amazon ECS cluster if you specify a VPC and omit cluster. If you deploy multiple services the CDK will only create one cluster per VPC.

If cluster and vpc are omitted, the CDK creates a new VPC with subnets in two Availability Zones and a cluster within this VPC.

If you specify the option recordType you can decide if you want the construct to use CNAME or Route53-Aliases as record sets.

Additionally, if more than one network target group is needed, instantiate one of the following:

NetworkMultipleTargetGroupsEc2Service

// Two network load balancers, each with their own listener and target group.
declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedEc2Service = new ecsPatterns.NetworkMultipleTargetGroupsEc2Service(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 256,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
  },
  loadBalancers: [
    {
      name: 'lb1',
      listeners: [
        {
          name: 'listener1',
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      name: 'lb2',
      listeners: [
        {
          name: 'listener2',
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
  targetGroups: [
    {
      containerPort: 80,
      listener: 'listener1',
    },
    {
      containerPort: 90,
      listener: 'listener2',
    },
  ],
});

Example not in your language?

NetworkMultipleTargetGroupsFargateService

// Two network load balancers, each with their own listener and target group.
declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedFargateService = new ecsPatterns.NetworkMultipleTargetGroupsFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 512,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
  },
  loadBalancers: [
    {
      name: 'lb1',
      listeners: [
        {
          name: 'listener1',
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      name: 'lb2',
      listeners: [
        {
          name: 'listener2',
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
  targetGroups: [
    {
      containerPort: 80,
      listener: 'listener1',
    },
    {
      containerPort: 90,
      listener: 'listener2',
    },
  ],
});

Queue Processing Services

To define a service that creates a queue and reads from that queue, instantiate one of the following:

QueueProcessingEc2Service

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const queueProcessingEc2Service = new ecsPatterns.QueueProcessingEc2Service(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('test'),
  command: ["-c", "4", "amazon.com"],
  enableLogging: false,
  desiredTaskCount: 2,
  environment: {
    TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE1: "test environment variable 1 value",
    TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE2: "test environment variable 2 value",
  },
  maxScalingCapacity: 5,
  containerName: 'test',
});

Example not in your language?

QueueProcessingFargateService

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const queueProcessingFargateService = new ecsPatterns.QueueProcessingFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 512,
  image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('test'),
  command: ["-c", "4", "amazon.com"],
  enableLogging: false,
  desiredTaskCount: 2,
  environment: {
    TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE1: "test environment variable 1 value",
    TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE2: "test environment variable 2 value",
  },
  maxScalingCapacity: 5,
  containerName: 'test',
});

Example not in your language?

when queue not provided by user, CDK will create a primary queue and a dead letter queue with default redrive policy and attach permission to the task to be able to access the primary queue.

NOTE: QueueProcessingFargateService adds a CPU Based scaling strategy by default. You can turn this off by setting disableCpuBasedScaling: true.

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const queueProcessingFargateService = new ecsPatterns.QueueProcessingFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 512,
  image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('test'),
  command: ["-c", "4", "amazon.com"],
  enableLogging: false,
  desiredTaskCount: 2,
  environment: {
    TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE1: "test environment variable 1 value",
    TEST_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE2: "test environment variable 2 value",
  },
  maxScalingCapacity: 5,
  containerName: 'test',
  disableCpuBasedScaling: true,
});

Example not in your language?

To specify a custom target CPU utilization percentage for the scaling strategy use the cpuTargetUtilizationPercent property:

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const queueProcessingFargateService = new ecsPatterns.QueueProcessingFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 512,
  image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('test'),
  command: ["-c", "4", "amazon.com"],
  enableLogging: false,
  desiredTaskCount: 2,
  environment: {},
  maxScalingCapacity: 5,
  containerName: 'test',
  cpuTargetUtilizationPercent: 90,
});

Example not in your language?

Scheduled Tasks

To define a task that runs periodically, there are 2 options:

ScheduledEc2Task

// Instantiate an Amazon EC2 Task to run at a scheduled interval
declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const ecsScheduledTask = new ecsPatterns.ScheduledEc2Task(this, 'ScheduledTask', {
  cluster,
  scheduledEc2TaskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('amazon/amazon-ecs-sample'),
    memoryLimitMiB: 256,
    environment: { name: 'TRIGGER', value: 'CloudWatch Events' },
  },
  schedule: appscaling.Schedule.expression('rate(1 minute)'),
  enabled: true,
  ruleName: 'sample-scheduled-task-rule',
});

Example not in your language?

ScheduledFargateTask

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const scheduledFargateTask = new ecsPatterns.ScheduledFargateTask(this, 'ScheduledFargateTask', {
  cluster,
  scheduledFargateTaskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('amazon/amazon-ecs-sample'),
    memoryLimitMiB: 512,
  },
  schedule: appscaling.Schedule.expression('rate(1 minute)'),
  platformVersion: ecs.FargatePlatformVersion.LATEST,
});

ECS Exec

You can use ECS Exec to run commands in or get a shell to a container running on an Amazon EC2 instance or on AWS Fargate. Enable ECS Exec, by setting enableExecuteCommand to true.

ECS Exec is supported by all Services i.e. ApplicationLoadBalanced(Fargate|Ec2)Service, ApplicationMultipleTargetGroups(Fargate|Ec2)Service, NetworkLoadBalanced(Fargate|Ec2)Service, NetworkMultipleTargetGroups(Fargate|Ec2)Service, QueueProcessing(Fargate|Ec2)Service. It is not supported for ScheduledTasks.

Read more about ECS Exec in the ECS Developer Guide.

Example:

declare const cluster: ecs.Cluster;
const loadBalancedFargateService = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  desiredCount: 1,
  cpu: 512,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
  },
  enableExecuteCommand: true
});

Example not in your language?

Please note, ECS Exec leverages AWS Systems Manager (SSM). So as a prerequisite for the exec command to work, you need to have the SSM plugin for the AWS CLI installed locally. For more information, see Install Session Manager plugin for AWS CLI.

Propagate Tags from task definition for ScheduledFargateTask

For tasks that are defined by a Task Definition, tags applied to the definition will not be applied to the running task by default. To get this behavior, set propagateTags to ecs.PropagatedTagSource.TASK_DEFINITION as shown below:

import { Tags } from 'aws-cdk-lib';

const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, 'Vpc', { maxAzs: 1 });
const cluster = new ecs.Cluster(this, 'EcsCluster', { vpc });
const taskDefinition = new ecs.FargateTaskDefinition(this, 'TaskDef', {
  memoryLimitMiB: 512,
  cpu: 256,
});
taskDefinition.addContainer("WebContainer", {
  image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry("amazon/amazon-ecs-sample"),
});
Tags.of(taskDefinition).add('my-tag', 'my-tag-value')
const scheduledFargateTask = new ecsPatterns.ScheduledFargateTask(this, 'ScheduledFargateTask', {
  cluster,
  taskDefinition: taskDefinition,
  schedule: appscaling.Schedule.expression('rate(1 minute)'),
  propagateTags: ecs.PropagatedTagSource.TASK_DEFINITION,
});

Pass a list of tags for ScheduledFargateTask

You can pass a list of tags to be applied to a Fargate task directly. These tags are in addition to any tags that could be applied to the task definition and propagated using the propagateTags attribute.

const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, 'Vpc', { maxAzs: 1 });
const cluster = new ecs.Cluster(this, 'EcsCluster', { vpc });
const scheduledFargateTask = new ecsPatterns.ScheduledFargateTask(this, 'ScheduledFargateTask', {
  cluster,
  scheduledFargateTaskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('amazon/amazon-ecs-sample'),
    memoryLimitMiB: 512,
  },
  schedule: appscaling.Schedule.expression('rate(1 minute)'),
  tags: [
    {
      key: 'my-tag',
      value: 'my-tag-value',

Use custom ephemeral storage for ECS Fargate tasks

You can pass a custom ephemeral storage (21GiB - 200GiB) to ECS Fargate tasks on Fargate Platform Version 1.4.0 or later.

const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, 'Vpc', { maxAzs: 2, restrictDefaultSecurityGroup: false });
const cluster = new ecs.Cluster(this, 'FargateCluster', { vpc });

const applicationLoadBalancedFargateService = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService(this, 'ALBFargateServiceWithCustomEphemeralStorage', {
  cluster,
  memoryLimitMiB: 1024,
  cpu: 512,
  ephemeralStorageGiB: 21,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('amazon/amazon-ecs-sample'),
  },

Set TLS for NetworkLoadBalancedFargateService / NetworkLoadBalancedEc2Service

To set up TLS listener in Network Load Balancer, you need to pass extactly one ACM certificate into the option listenerCertificate. The listener port and the target group port will also become 443 by default. You can override the listener's port with listenerPort and the target group's port with taskImageOptions.containerPort.

import { Certificate } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-certificatemanager';

const certificate = Certificate.fromCertificateArn(this, 'Cert', 'arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456:certificate/abcdefg');
const loadBalancedFargateService = new ecsPatterns.NetworkLoadBalancedFargateService(this, 'Service', {
  // The default value of listenerPort is 443 if you pass in listenerCertificate
  // It is configured to port 4443 here
  listenerPort: 4443,
  listenerCertificate: certificate,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('amazon/amazon-ecs-sample'),
    // The default value of containerPort is 443 if you pass in listenerCertificate
    // It is configured to port 8443 here
    containerPort: 8443,
  },
});

Use dualstack Load Balancer

You can use dualstack IP address type for Application Load Balancer and Network Load Balancer.

To use dualstack IP address type, you must have associated IPv6 CIDR blocks with the VPC and subnets and set the ipAddressType to IpAddressType.DUAL_STACK when creating the load balancer.

Application Load Balancer

You can use dualstack Application Load Balancer for Fargate and EC2 services.

import * as elbv2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-elasticloadbalancingv2';

// The VPC and subnet must have associated IPv6 CIDR blocks.
const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(this, 'Vpc', {
  ipProtocol: ec2.IpProtocol.DUAL_STACK,
});
const cluster = new ecs.Cluster(this, 'EcsCluster', { vpc });

const service = new ecsPatterns.ApplicationLoadBalancedFargateService(this, 'myService', {
  cluster,
  taskImageOptions: {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromRegistry('amazon/amazon-ecs-sample'),
