Using aws elasticbeanstalk with amp

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

AWS Elastic Beanstalk simplifies the process of deploying and managing web applications in the AWS cloud without worrying about the infrastructure that runs those applications. AWS Amplify (AMP) on the other hand, particularly AWS's AMP service within the context of Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, is used for monitoring and alerting.

While AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS Amplify (AMP) for Prometheus are different services with distinct purposes, if you want to deploy an application using AWS Elastic Beanstalk and set up monitoring using Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, you would follow these steps:

1. **Create an Elastic Beanstalk Application**: This serves as a container for your web application.

2. **Deploy an Application Version to Elastic Beanstalk**: This involves packaging your application code and configuration files.

3. **Provision an AMP Workspace**: An AMP workspace is where all your Prometheus monitoring data will be stored.

4. **Configure Alert Manager Definitions**: To set up alerting rules for monitoring your application.

Now let's write a Pulumi program in TypeScript to demonstrate how this could work:

```typescript
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
import * as aws_native from "@pulumi/aws-native";

// Create an Elastic Beanstalk application
const app = new aws.elasticbeanstalk.Application("my-app", {
    // Define the properties of your application here
    // Documentation: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/elasticbeanstalk/application/
});

// Deploy an application version to Elastic Beanstalk
const appVersion = new aws.elasticbeanstalk.ApplicationVersion("my-app-version", {
    application: app.name,
    description: "My application version",
    sourceBundle: {
        s3Bucket: "my-app-bucket",
        s3Key: "path/to/my/app.zip"
    },
    // Documentation: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/elasticbeanstalk/applicationversion/
});

// Create an AMP workspace
const workspace = new aws.amp.Workspace("my-workspace", {
    // Optional: Configure your workspace if needed
    // Documentation: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/amp/workspace/
});

// Configure Alert Manager Definitions
const alertManagerDefinition = new aws.amp.AlertManagerDefinition("my-alert-config", {
    workspaceId: workspace.id,
    definition: "alertmanager_configuration_string", // Replace with your actual config string
    // Documentation: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/amp/alertmanagerdefinition/
});

// Output the Elastic Beanstalk environment endpoint
export const endpointUrl = app.endpointUrl;
export const prometheusEndpointUrl = workspace.prometheusEndpoint;

// Create an Elastic Beanstalk environment using the specified application and version
const env = new aws.elasticbeanstalk.Environment("my-env", {
    application: app.name,
    versionLabel: appVersion.name,
    solutionStackName: "64bit Amazon Linux 2 v5.4.4 running Node.js 14",
    // Define other settings such as environment variables, etc.
    // Documentation: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/elasticbeanstalk/environment/
});

// For demonstration purposes, assume your alert configuration is basic YAML, this will be unique per user requirements.
const alertManagerYamlConfig = `global:
  resolve_timeout: 5m
route:
  receiver: 'web.hook'
receivers:
  - name: 'web.hook'
    webhook_configs:
    - url: 'http://example.com/hooks/alertmanager'`;

// Use the YAML configuration to create an AlertManager Definition
const alertManager = new aws.amp.AlertManagerDefinition("my-alert-manager", {
    workspaceId: workspace.id,
    definition: alertManagerYamlConfig,
    // Documentation: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/amp/alertmanagerdefinition/
});
```

In this Pulumi TypeScript program:

- We start by importing the required AWS packages.
- Next, we define an Elastic Beanstalk Application that acts as a logical container for the actual application deployment.
- We then package the application code and configuration into an Application Version, referenced by an S3 bucket and key where the zipped application code is stored.
- We provision an Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) Workspace, which is essentially a dedicated space for your Prometheus server.
- After setting up the workspace, we create an Alert Manager Definition inside the workspace to handle alert configurations.
- We conclude by creating an Elastic Beanstalk Environment where our application will be running, using the application and version we defined earlier, and a specific solution stack suitable for our app.

For monitoring and alerting, we would normally configure an alert manager definition using manual YAML strings formatted according to the Prometheus Alertmanager configuration. This definition is specified when creating the Alert Manager Definition resource.

Please replace the placeholders like `my-app-bucket` and `path/to/my/app.zip`, and `alertmanager_configuration_string` with your actual S3 bucket, application path, and alert manager configuration.

Remember, before running this code, ensure that you have the AWS Pulumi provider configured with the appropriate credentials and settings. Also, make sure that the zipped application code exists in the S3 bucket at the specified key.
