We had an old website that was running MySQL 5.7 and needed to be upgraded to MySQL 8.0 as 5.7 was no longer being supported by AWS.  To do this we also had to upgrade our version of Django from 1.x to at least 2.x as 1.x did not support MySQL 8.0.  This is a tricky process because its a rather large upgrade that involved various breaks and dependency issues that arose from the new versions.

Overview

Migrate existing PHP web application from AWS Elastic Beanstalk to Amazon ECS for improved scalability, cost efficiency, and operational control.

Current State

PHP web application serving client websites

Hosted on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Limited container orchestration capabilities

Proposed Solution

Core Migration Components:

Containerise PHP application using Docker

Deploy to Amazon ECS with Fargate or EC2 launch type

Implement Application Load Balancer (ALB) for traffic distribution

Build automated CI/CD pipeline for container deployment

Key Deliverables

Docker Pipeline: Create Dockerfile and build process for PHP application - Investigation work and to rebuild them in an local environment.

ECS Infrastructure: Configure ECS cluster, services, and task definitions - Build via AWS console, not through TF for now 

Load Balancing: Deploy ALB with proper health checks and routing rules - 1 ALB in this PoC, no roundrobin algorithm 

CI/CD Integration: Scarfold automated build and deployment pipeline - Simple ones with docker build + deliverables to the ECS with websites

Outcome

Scalability: Auto-scaling based on demand - based on 2 pods for this PoC

Cost Optimization: Shared Cluster + Confirmation of the saving plans. 

Flexibility: Greater control over container orchestration

Performance: Improved resource utilisation
