This is a reference project to demonstrate the launch of Rigor agents, with supporting infrastructure, on AWS ECS using Terraform.

Structure

This terraform project will create the following resources:

• An ECS Custer
• 2 ECS services:
  1. The Rigor Agent
  2. Watchtower DAEMON
• An Autoscaling group with launch configuration
• Cloudwatch log groups for each service
• IAM roles for ECS services and instances

Important notes:

• The autoscaling group uses m5.large instances (Rigor's instance size of choice).
• Instances are launched as spot requests to favor cost over availability.
• You must configure your VPC, routing tables, and security groups to allow outbound traffic to Rigor resources (should work with default settings).
• EC2 instances will not have an SSH key assigned-- you will not be able to connect to them remotely.

Configuration

1. Create a new private location within the Rigor interface
2. Update the terraform.tfvars file providing the key from the private location setup instruaction and any other changes desired

3. terraform apply
