AWSTransactionalApps 0.8.1

AWS Transactional Apps - A reusable Python CDKTF package for provisioning EC2-based Docker architectures with S3 script deployment

AWSTransactionalApps

A reusable Python CDKTF package that provisions the complete AWS Transactional Apps architecture, uploads all required runtime scripts to an S3 deployment bucket, and provides a sample project to validate the package.

Features

• EC2 Instance Provisioning: Creates EC2 instances with proper IAM roles and instance profiles
• S3 Script Deployment: Automatically uploads runtime scripts (setup, loader, bootstrap, update) to S3
• ECR Integration: Conditional ECR repository creation for Docker images
• RDS Support: Optional PostgreSQL RDS instance creation
• Secrets Manager: Integrated secrets management for application configuration
• SystemD Services: Includes systemd service and timer configurations

Architecture Components

• setup.sh: Initial EC2 setup script downloaded via user data
• loader.sh: Application loader script
• bootstrap.sh: Runtime bootstrap script
• update.sh: Application update script
• docker-compose.yml: Docker Compose configuration template
• SystemD services: awsec2-loader.service, awsec2-app.service, awsec2-app-update.timer

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Node.js 16+ (for CDKTF)
• AWS CLI configured with appropriate credentials
• Terraform 1.0+

Install the Package Locally

# Clone the repository
cd /Repos/AWSTransactionalApps

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

pip install -e AWSTransactionalApps/

Quick Start

Using the Sample Project

# Navigate to sample directory
cd /Repos/AWSTransactionalApps/sample

# Install sample project dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Generate CDKTF provider bindings (first time only)
cdktf get

# Synthesize Terraform configuration
cdktf synth

# Review the Terraform plan
cdktf diff

# Deploy the infrastructure
cdktf deploy
