Welcome to setup for OpenTelemetry with ECS Fargate with CDK

This project uses CDKv2 to setup AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS).This enables OpenTelemetry metrics and traces collection on Amazon ECS. It creates an ECS task definition which you can now use to deploy to an ECS cluster. The application will run in an Amazon ECS cluster with AWS Fargate, and the metrics will be stored in Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace and traces in AWS X-Ray.

CDKv2 Setup

Install CDKv2 as shown here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/getting_started.html

If you are using Cloud9, CDK would have been installed.

Bookstrap the CDK to your AWS environment

cdk bootstrap

Setup Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspace

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prometheus/latest/userguide/AMP-onboard-create-workspace.html

Setup the project

mkdir otel-ecs-fargate-cdk

Initialize the project

cdk init app --language typescript

Replace the script content in lib with the one in lib/otel-ecs-fargate-cdk.ts

Replace the environment variable AWS_PROMETHEUS_ENDPOINT with your AMP endpoint

cdk deploy

You can now see the task definition defined in the ECS console which you can now use to deploy to an ECS cluster
