ecs-host-service-scale

A Lambda function to ensure an ECS Service is set to the correct Desired Count for a One-Task-Per-Host placement value for any cluster that runs the Service.

Requirements

• boto3 (included in AWS Lambda functions, no need for packaged deployment)
• ECS_SERVICE_ARN environment variable
• IAM Role/Policy access setup

Flow

Deployment

The function is meant to be deployed as a non-VPC Lambda function. It will probably work in a VPC environment, given an Internet Gateway and proper permissions, but it simply does not need access to any in-VPC resources, only AWS API calls.

• IAM Policy & IAM Role allowing: ecs:Describe* and ecs:UpdateService
• CloudWatch Event Rule for: {"source": ["aws.ecs"], "detail-type": ["ECS Container Instance State Change"]}
• Code from lambda_function.py
• The ECS Service ARN environment variable

Testing

• Install all requirements via pip install -r requirements.txt
• Execute tests vis pytest

See py.test docs and botocore Stubber reference for more.
