Whilst you can just use ecs-cli compose up were going to run it in two stages here to understand whats going on.

What that means in part is that I build a ton of demos, and Docker Compose is my jam.

I love using Docker Compose for the same reasons that many people do.

No bespoke builds, no cloning of VMs to preserve that magic state where everything works.

And soon I have a workshop to run which is exciting but daunting as now I have fifty people to coach through using Docker on their laptops.

Laptops which are guaranteed not to all be the lovely piece of 15 32GB MacBook Pro hardware that Confluent equip their staff with.

Ah, Windows. And not only Windows, but often corporate laptops running Windows with the inevitable security provisions in place to mean that theyre bugger all use for running anything other than MS Exceland definitely not Docker.

I realise theres Terraform and chef and ansible and puppet and kerplunk and uno and a bunch of others tools that I could use and only some of which Ive made up.

But the moment I start building something with them, I am now maintaining two code bases.

One locally to run Docker Compose on my laptop, one in for spinning up the stack in the Cloud.

Whats more, at the end of it all, it still runs on my laptop too.

Im going to bastardise it and abuse it and get it to not really do what it was intended for, but pretty much works at doing anyway.

Because in amongst the ECS functionality is this little gem: Amazon ECS CLI Supports Docker Compose Version 3.

By using the provided command-line tool, you can use an existing Docker Compose file and have ECS run it for you.

It can run the Docker containers on an EC2 instance that you provision and can access, or it can run them on Fargate.

Im using EC2; my spidey-sense tells me that what Im trying to do only just works with EC2 and almost certainly wouldnt with Fargate.

The secret-sauce that we have here is that ECS can take a Docker Compose file and translate it into task definitions, which it then runs.

Run aws2 configure to set this up in the AWS CLI, and then run this to configure the ECS CLI.

Note that there are n control characters that youll need to convert into actual line breaks when you write this as a private key file to use with SSH.

Create a new folder (e.g.

Creating network ecs-compose-testdefault with the default driver.
