Fargate

Overview

Deploying the Upwind components on an Amazon ECS cluster using the AWS Fargate launch type simplifies operations by abstracting away the underlying server infrastructure, allowing you to focus solely on managing your applications. In this setup, you can run the Upwind components as containerized services without the need to manage the EC2 instances. Fargate automatically scales and manages the server infrastructure for you, providing an efficient and cost-effective way to deploy and maintain the Upwind components.

Components

Below is a table detailing the Upwind components and their roles in an ECS cluster deployment using the Fargate launch type:

Upwind Sensor	Collects data on network traffic and system metrics, operating within the Fargate environment. It benefits from Fargate's abstraction by not requiring host network mode, ensuring seamless integration and efficient data collection.
Upwind Cluster Manager	Orchestrates the deployment and operation of Upwind components on Fargate. It coordinates tasks, ensuring that the sensor data is efficiently processed and analyzed without the need for direct infrastructure management.

Installation

The installation choices available for deploying the Upwind components on an ECS cluster using the Fargate launch type are as follows:

• Terraform (Recommended)
• AWS CloudFormation

Upgrade
