Deploy the Node Docker Image on AWS EC2 With TypeScript.

Introduction

In this solution, we will deploy a Node.js Docker image on an AWS EC2 instance using Pulumi with TypeScript. This involves creating an EC2 instance, setting up the necessary security groups, and deploying the Docker container on the instance. The key services involved in this solution are AWS EC2, AWS VPC, and Docker.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Set Up the Pulumi Project

We will start by setting up a new Pulumi project and configuring the AWS provider.

Step 2: Create a VPC

We will create a new Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to host our EC2 instance.

Step 3: Create Security Groups

We will create security groups to allow inbound traffic to the EC2 instance.

Step 4: Create an EC2 Instance

We will create an EC2 instance and configure it to run the Node.js Docker container.

Step 5: Deploy the Docker Container

We will deploy the Node.js Docker container on the EC2 instance.

Key Points

• We will use Pulumi to manage our infrastructure as code.
• AWS EC2 will be used to host the Docker container.
• AWS VPC will provide network isolation for our EC2 instance.
• Security groups will be used to manage inbound traffic to the EC2 instance.
• Docker will be used to containerize the Node.js application.

Conclusion

By following this solution, we have successfully deployed a Node.js Docker image on an AWS EC2 instance using Pulumi with TypeScript. This approach allows us to manage our infrastructure as code, providing a repeatable and scalable solution for deploying containerized applications.

Full Code Example

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

// Create a VPC
const vpc = new aws.ec2.Vpc("my-vpc", {
    cidrBlock: "10.0.0.0/16",
    enableDnsSupport: true,
    enableDnsHostnames: true,
});

// Create a Subnet
const subnet = new aws.ec2.Subnet("my-subnet", {
    vpcId: vpc.id,
    cidrBlock: "10.0.1.0/24",
    mapPublicIpOnLaunch: true,
});

// Create a Security Group
const securityGroup = new aws.ec2.SecurityGroup("my-security-group", {
    vpcId: vpc.id,
    ingress: [
        { protocol: "tcp", fromPort: 22, toPort: 22, cidrBlocks: ["0.0.0.0/0"] }, // SSH
        { protocol: "tcp", fromPort: 80, toPort: 80, cidrBlocks: ["0.0.0.0/0"] }, // HTTP
    ],
    egress: [
        { protocol: "-1", fromPort: 0, toPort: 0, cidrBlocks: ["0.0.0.0/0"] },
    ],
});

// Create an EC2 instance
const instance = new aws.ec2.Instance("my-instance", {
    instanceType: "t2.micro",
    ami: "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0", // Amazon Linux 2 AMI
    vpcSecurityGroupIds: [securityGroup.id],
    subnetId: subnet.id,
    associatePublicIpAddress: true,
    userData: `#!/bin/bash
sudo yum update -y
sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker -y
sudo service docker start
sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user
`,
});

// Create a Docker container
const container = new docker.Container("my-container", {
    image: "node:14",
    name: "my-node-app",
    ports: [{ internal: 80, external: 80 }],
    envs: ["NODE_ENV=production"],
    command: ["node", "app.js"],
    networksAdvanced: [{ name: "bridge" }],
});

// Export the instance's public IP and container ID
export const instancePublicIp = instance.publicIp;
export const containerId = container.id;
