Deploying to Amazon Elastic Container Service

Prerequisites

Before creating your GitHub Actions workflow, you will first need to complete the following setup steps for Amazon ECR and ECS:

1. Create an Amazon ECR repository to store your images.

   For example, using the AWS CLI:

   Bash

   aws ecr create-repository \
       --repository-name MY_ECR_REPOSITORY \
       --region MY_AWS_REGION
   
   

   Ensure that you use the same Amazon ECR repository name (represented here by MY_ECR_REPOSITORY) for the ECR_REPOSITORY variable in the workflow below.

   Ensure that you use the same AWS region value for the AWS_REGION (represented here by MY_AWS_REGION) variable in the workflow below.

2. Create an Amazon ECS task definition, cluster, and service.

   For details, follow the Getting started wizard on the Amazon ECS console, or the Getting started guide in the Amazon ECS documentation.

   Ensure that you note the names you set for the Amazon ECS service and cluster, and use them for the ECS_SERVICE and ECS_CLUSTER variables in the workflow below.

3. Store your Amazon ECS task definition as a JSON file in your GitHub repository.

   The format of the file should be the same as the output generated by:

   Bash

   
   aws ecs register-task-definition --generate-cli-skeleton
   
   

   Ensure that you set the ECS_TASK_DEFINITION variable in the workflow below as the path to the JSON file.

   Ensure that you set the CONTAINER_NAME variable in the workflow below as the container name in the containerDefinitions section of the task definition.

4. Create GitHub Actions secrets named AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to store the values for your Amazon IAM access key.

   For more information on creating secrets for GitHub Actions, see GitHub Actions에서 비밀 사용.

   See the documentation for each action used below for the recommended IAM policies for the IAM user, and methods for handling the access key credentials.

5. Optionally, configure a deployment environment. 환경은 일반적인 배포 대상(예: production, staging 또는 development)을 설명하는 데 사용됩니다. GitHub Actions 워크플로가 환경에 배포되면 환경이 리포지토리의 기본 페이지에 표시됩니다. 작업을 진행하기 위해 승인을 요구하거나 워크플로, 사용자 지정 배포 보호 규칙을 사용하여 게이트 배포를 트리거할 수 있는 분기를 제한하거나 비밀에 대한 액세스를 제한할 수 있습니다. 환경을 만드는 방법에 대한 자세한 내용은 배포 환경 관리을(를) 참조하세요.

Creating the workflow

Once you've completed the prerequisites, you can proceed with creating the workflow.

The following example workflow demonstrates how to build a container image and push it to Amazon ECR. It then updates the task definition with the new image ID, and deploys the task definition to Amazon ECS.

Ensure that you provide your own values for all the variables in the env key of the workflow.

배포 환경을 구성한 경우 환경의 이름으로 environment 값을 변경합니다. 환경을 구성하지 않은 경우 environment 키를 삭제합니다.

# 이 워크플로는 GitHub에서 인증되지 않은 작업을 사용합니다.
# 작업은 타사에서 제공하며
# 별도의 서비스 약관, 개인정보처리방침, 지원 설명서에서 규정됩니다.
# 참조하세요.

# 커밋 SHA에 작업을 고정하는 것이 좋습니다.
# 최신 버전을 얻으려면 SHA를 업데이트해야 합니다.
# 태그 또는 분기를 참조할 수도 있지만 경고 없이 작업이 변경될 수 있습니다.
