The clouddriver-ecs module allows for ECS deployments of dockerized applications. You need to enable the AWS cloud provider in order for the ECS cloud provider to work.

It is a work in progress

In order for the ECS cloud provider to work, a corresponding AWS account must be configured and enabled. An ECS account will be tied to a given AWS account by its name. Below is an example snippet of clouddriver.yml:

aws:
  enabled: true

  accounts:
    - name: aws-account-name
      accountId: "123456789012"
      regions:
        - name: us-east-1
  defaultAssumeRole: role/SpinnakerManaged

ecs:
  enabled: true
  accounts:
    - name: ecs-account-name
      awsAccount: aws-account-name

Make sure that you allow the application-autoscaling.amazonaws.com and ecs.amazonaws.com principals to assume the SpinnakerManaged role by adding it as a principal. See example code below. Failure to do so will prevent you from deploying ECS server groups:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
                "Service": [
                  "ecs.amazonaws.com",
                  "application-autoscaling.amazonaws.com"
                ],
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
    }
  ]
}

TODO Wishlist:

1. Perhaps clouddriver should try to add the 2 required trust relationships on startup if they are detected as not being present
