How to deploy to ECS using Pipes and enable ExecuteCommand

[Deleted user]

Hi,

we have a running ECS cluster with a deploy definition in bitbucket and we would be able to connect using ExecuteCommand.

Is it possible to Enable ExecuteCommand during ECS deployment using pipes 

atlassian/aws-ecs-deploy:1.0.0 ?

Thanks a lot

Hi, Roberto! Welcome to the community! 

Could you please give me more details about your business case and some examples, so I can further understand what you are looking for? With this information, I can create a feature request for our dev team to implement this to the pipe. 

Thank you. 

Kind regards,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,

thanks for replying.

My company is using bitbucket.org as a repository and every time we are committing changes an automatic pipeline (don't know if it is a correct term) run to build and deploy a container image to AWS ECS.

The pipeline is using your atlassian/aws-ecs-deploy:1.0.0 library and it works very good.

The problem is that we want to connect a shell (or run an interactive command) to a running container on AWS ECS cluster; what normally you can do in docker with this command: $ docker container exec -it my_mysql /bin/bash

AWS added a new feature called "--enable-execute-command"; see https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/new-using-amazon-ecs-exec-access-your-containers-fargate-ec2/

ex.: 

$ aws ecs run-task --cluster ecs-exec-demo-cluster --task-definition ecs-exec-demo --network-configuration awsvpcConfiguration="{subnets=[$PUBLIC_SUBNET1, $PUBLIC_SUBNET2],securityGroups=[$ECS_EXEC_DEMO_SG_ID],assignPublicIp=ENABLED}" --enable-execute-command --launch-type FARGATE --tags key=environment,value=production --platform-version '1.4.0' --region $AWS_REGION

I was wondering if it is possible to enable the "--enable-execute-command" feature using your atlassian/aws-ecs-deploy:1.0.0 library.

Thanks a lot.

Kind Regards,

Roberto
