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:
