Create an ECS cluster

When running services on AWS, ensure you have taken the relevant steps to conform to your organisations own internal security policies. In order to keep this guide as simple as possible, it does not consider any specific security concerns, and as such, may violate some of your own internal organisational policies.

  1. Navigate to the AWS console, ECS homepage.

  2. Select 'Create Cluster' and under 'Cluster Configuration', choose a name for the cluster.

  1. Under Infrastructure, choose the following values, as illustrated below, leaving other default values:

  • Amazon EC2 instances

  • Minimum EC2 instance type = t2.xlarge

  • EC2 instance role = create new role

  • Desired capacity = min 1, max 1

  1. Under Network settings, choose the following values, as illustrated below, leaving other default values:

  • VPC = The VPC where you want the cluster to reside.

  • Subnets = Public subnets from the VPC

  • Security group = new security group, with port range 9600 - 9610, which is used by Graph.Build by default.

  • Auto-assign public IP = on

N.B. If you are connecting to Amazon Neptune, choose the Neptune VPC.

  1. Select 'create'
