Quickstart with Workloads on AWS ECS

This guide will help you to get started with Workload Onboarding in practice.

As part of this guide, you will:

1. Deploy Istio Bookinfo example into an Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster
2. Deploy ratings application as an AWS ECS task and onboard it into the service mesh
3. Verify traffic between Kubernetes Pod(s) and the AWS ECS task

This guide is intended to be an easy-to-follow demonstration of the workload onboarding capabilities.

To keep things simple, you are not required to configure the infrastructure the way you would do it in the case of a production deployment.

Specifically:

• you are not required to set up routable DNS records
• you are not required to use a trusted CA authority (such as Let's Encrypt)

Before proceeding, please make sure to complete the following prerequisites:

• Create an EKS cluster to install TSB and example application(s) into
• Follow the instructions in TSB demo installation
• Follow the instructions in Installing the Bookinfo Example
• Follow the instructions in Enable Workload Onboarding

📄️ Configure WorkloadGroup and Sidecar for the AWS ECS workloads

You will deploy the ratings application as an AWS ECS task and onboard it

📄️ Onboard AWS ECS task
