AWS Containers Retail Sample - App Runner Terraform

This Terraform module creates all the necessary infrastructure and deploys the retail sample application on AWS App Runner.

It provides:

• VPC with public and private subnets
• An App Runner service per application component
  • The UI service serves a public endpoint
  • Backend components serve private VPC endpoints
• All application dependencies such as RDS, DynamoDB table, Elasticache etc. accessed using App Runner VPC egress networking

NOTE: This will create resources in your AWS account which will incur costs. You are responsible for these costs, and should understand the resources being created before proceeding.

Usage

Pre-requisites for this are:

• AWS, Terraform and kubectl installed locally
• AWS CLI configured and authenticated with account to deploy to

After cloning this repository run the following commands:

cd terraform/apprunner

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

The final command will prompt for confirmation that you wish to create the specified resources. After confirming the process will take at least 15 minutes to complete.

NOTE: Due to the complexity of the Terraform configuration there are intermitent failures. Please retry running terraform apply before raising an issue.

You can then retrieve the HTTP endpoint for the UI from Terraform outputs:

terraform output -raw application_url

Enter the URL in a web browser to access the application.
