Set up an on-demand Minecraft Server on AWS Fargate

Do you love playing Minecraft with friends but worry about the cost of running a dedicated server 24/7?

Recently I was looking for a way to run Minecraft on a container in AWS, and I stumbled across an excellent project that solved my problem in a way I hadn’t considered, namely this GitHub repo by doctorray117. In this blog post, I’ll give you a broad overview of the steps required to create an on-demand Minecraft server using ECS Fargate that starts and stops automatically. For a more detailed implementation guide, please check out the project README.

Leveraging AWS CloudFormation Change Sets to manage change

Summary of Environment

A large automotive manufacturing company approached us to help them with a hybrid deployment of a commercial content management system (CMS) on the AWS platform. Once deployed, the solution would provide services to a network of dealers across Canada. We worked with their in-house team to develop and implement a solution based on AWS CloudFormation and integrated it with GitLab. By combining the Continuous Integration (CI) capabilities of GitLab with the native functionality of AWS CloudFormation, we were able to create a system which allowed fast, efficient and repeatable deployments across multiple environments - including production - and AWS accounts.

AWS CloudFormation and GitLab CI Pipeline

Summary of Environment

A multinational recruiting firm required a large hybrid deployment to support their main business functions in North America - including, but not limited to, payroll, finance, and time tracking. AWS CloudFormation is used to manage all environments - including production - across several AWS accounts and AWS regions. We took a ‘microservices approach’ to the creation of the templates used to deploy and maintain the environment. Virtually all aspects of the AWS deployment are managed via small, easy to operate and maintain CloudFormation templates.
