Using Aws Servicecatalog With Applicationinsights

Introduction

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to use AWS Service Catalog with AWS Application Insights using Pulumi. AWS Service Catalog allows organizations to create and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS, while AWS Application Insights helps you monitor and analyze the health of your applications. By integrating these two services, you can ensure that your applications are running smoothly and are compliant with your organization’s standards.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Set Up Pulumi Project

1. Create a new Pulumi project if you don’t have one already.
2. Configure your AWS credentials.

Step 2: Define AWS Service Catalog Portfolio and Product

1. Create a Service Catalog Portfolio.
2. Add a Product to the Portfolio.

Step 3: Enable AWS Application Insights

1. Create an Application Insights Application.
2. Add monitoring for your resources.

Step 4: Deploy the Stack

1. Run pulumi up to deploy your stack.
2. Verify that the resources are created successfully.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have successfully integrated AWS Service Catalog with AWS Application Insights using Pulumi. This setup helps you maintain compliance and monitor the health of your applications effectively.

Full Code Example

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create a Service Catalog Portfolio
const portfolio = new aws.servicecatalog.Portfolio("myPortfolio", {
    name: "MyServiceCatalogPortfolio",
    description: "A portfolio for my service catalog",
    providerName: "PulumiUser",
});

// Create a Service Catalog Product
const product = new aws.servicecatalog.Product("myProduct", {
    name: "MyServiceCatalogProduct",
    owner: "PulumiUser",
    provisioningArtifactParameters: {
        name: "v1",
        type: "CLOUD_FORMATION_TEMPLATE",
        description: "Version 1",
        templateUrl: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/cloudformation-templates-us-east-1/EC2InstanceWithSecurityGroupSample.template",
    },
    type: "CLOUD_FORMATION_TEMPLATE",
});

// Associate the Product with the Portfolio
const portfolioProductAssociation = new aws.servicecatalog.ProductPortfolioAssociation("portfolioProductAssociation", {
    portfolioId: portfolio.id,
    productId: product.id,
});

// Create an Application Insights Application
const appInsightsApp = new aws.applicationinsights.Application("myAppInsightsApp", {
    resourceGroupName: "MyResourceGroup",
    autoConfigEnabled: true,
    cweMonitorEnabled: true,
    opsCenterEnabled: true,
    tags: {
        Environment: "production",
    },
});

// Export the Portfolio and Application Insights Application IDs
export const portfolioId = portfolio.id;
export const appInsightsAppId = appInsightsApp.id;
