Creating an ECS cluster
Having configured the prerequisites, next we shall create an ECS Fargate cluster. Run the following command in PowerShell to create a cluster:
esc-cli up
As the command output indicates, a cluster gets created using the cluster configuration set up earlier. A VPC and two subnets also get created:
PS C:\PowerShell> ecs-cli up ←[36mINFO←[0m[0002] Created cluster ←[36mcluster←[0m=hello-world ←[36mregion←[0m=us-east-1 ←[36mINFO←[0m[0003] Waiting for your cluster resources to be created... ←[36mINFO←[0m[0004] Cloudformation stack status ←[36mstackStatus←[0m=CREATE_IN_PROGRESS ←[36mINFO←[0m[0065] Cloudformation stack status ←[36mstackStatus←[0m=CREATE_IN_PROGRESS VPC created: vpc-6e021915 Subnet created: subnet-2c02dd4b Subnet created: subnet-f2d50bdc Cluster creation succeeded. PS C:\PowerShell>
Access the ECS Console in a web browser and the hello-world
cluster gets listed, as shown here:
