Deploy to AWS

Step-by-step guide to deploy the Contact Center AI Orchestrator on ECS Fargate with Terraform.

Prerequisites

AWS account with appropriate IAM permissions
Terraform 1.5.0+
Docker
OpenAI API key

1. Configure Variables

Create terraform/terraform.tfvars:

openai_api_key = "sk-your-openai-api-key"

# Optional overrides
aws_region       = "us-east-1"
project_name     = "cost-center-orchestrator"
container_cpu    = 256
container_memory = 512
min_capacity     = 1
max_capacity     = 2

Variable Reference

Variable	Default	Description
`aws_region`	`us-east-1`	AWS region
`project_name`	`cost-center-orchestrator`	Resource name prefix
`container_cpu`	`256`	CPU units (0.25 vCPU)
`container_memory`	`512`	Memory in MB
`min_capacity` / `max_capacity`	`1` / `2`	Auto-scaling task count range
`cpu_target_value` / `memory_target_value`	`70` / `80`	Scaling threshold (%)

Production example: higher CPU/memory, min_capacity=2, max_capacity=10, log_level=WARNING.

2. Deploy Infrastructure

cd terraform
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

3. Build and Push Image

After Terraform creates the ECR repository:

docker build -t cost-center-orchestrator:latest .
terraform output deployment_commands   # run the printed commands to push

4. Verify

terraform output alb_url
curl $(terraform output -raw alb_url)/api/v1/health

5. Stream Logs

aws logs tail /ecs/cost-center-orchestrator --follow

Cleanup

cd terraform && terraform destroy
