ECS Deployment Architecture
Detailed architecture overview for deploying Oxy on AWS ECS with Fargate
ECS Deployment Architecture
Architecture Components
Container Platform
- ECS Cluster: Managed container orchestration
- Fargate Tasks: Serverless container execution
- Auto Scaling: Automatic scaling based on utilization
- Application Load Balancer: Traffic distribution across tasks
Storage & Configuration
- EFS File System: Shared persistent storage across tasks
- Environment Variables: Runtime configuration via task definitions
- AWS Secrets Manager: Secure storage for sensitive data
Infrastructure Specifications
| Workload Size | CPU | Memory | Storage | Tasks | Monthly Cost* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 0.25 vCPU | 512 MB | 20GB EFS | 1-2 | ~$25 |
| Medium | 0.5 vCPU | 1024 MB | 50GB EFS | 2-4 | ~$60 |
| Large | 1 vCPU | 2048 MB | 100GB EFS | 3-6 | ~$150 |
Key Benefits & Considerations
✅ Advantages
- Auto-scaling: Automatic horizontal scaling based on demand
- High availability: Multi-AZ deployment with automatic failover
- Managed infrastructure: AWS handles underlying infrastructure
- Zero-downtime deployments: Rolling updates with health checks
- Cost optimization: Pay-per-use pricing model
⚠️ Considerations
- Complex setup: More components than EC2 deployment
- Cold starts: Initial container startup time
- Variable costs: Pricing based on usage patterns
