lambci/ecs repository overview

⁠LambCI ECS cluster and Docker image

More documentation should be coming soon, but to get up and running quickly, launch the cluster.template file in CloudFormation and give your stack a name like lambci-ecs

(You should have already created a LambCI stack as documented at https://github.com/lambci/lambci⁠)

This will create an auto-scaling group and an ECS cluster and task definition, which you can find in the AWS console from Services > EC2 Container Service

⁠LambCI configuration

You'll need to give the Lambda function in your LambCI stack access to run the task, so will need add to IAM permissions something like this:

{
  "Effect": "Allow",
  "Action": "ecs:RunTask",
  "Resource": "arn:aws:ecs:*:*:task-definition/lambci-ecs-BuildTask-1PVABCDEFKFT"
}

Where you replace the resource with the name of the ECS task definition created in your lambci-ecs stack.

Then in the project you want to build using ECS, you'll need to ensure the following LambCI config settings are given:

{
  docker: {
    cluster: 'lambci-ecs-Cluster-1TZABCDEF987',
    task: 'lambci-ecs-BuildTask-1PVABCDEFKFT',
  }
}

(replacing with the actual names of your cluster and task)

These are normal LambCI config settings which you can set in your .lambci.js[on] file or in the config DB.
