# Configure routes between ECS tasks
|
|
|
|
This topic describes how to configure routes between tasks after registering the tasks to Consul service mesh.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
To enable tasks to call through the service mesh, complete the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Configure the sidecar proxy to listen on a different port for each upstream service your application needs to call.
|
|
1. Modify your application to make requests to the sidecar proxy on the specified port.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Consul service mesh must be deployed to ECS before you can bind a network address. For more information, refer to the following topics:
|
|
|
|
- [Deploy Consul to ECS using the Terraform module](/consul/docs/ecs/deploy/terraform)
|
|
- [Deploy Consul to ECS manually](/consul/docs/ecs/deploy/manual)
|
|
|
|
## Configure the sidecar proxy
|
|
|
|
Add the `upstreams` block to your application configuration and specify the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- `destinationName`: Specifies the name of the upstream service as it is registered in the Consul service catalog.
|
|
- `localBindPort`: Specifies the port that the proxy forwards requests to. You must specify an unused port but it does not need to match the upstream service port.
|
|
|
|
In the following example, the route from an application named `web` to an application named `backend` goes through port `8080`:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "web" {
|
|
family = "web"
|
|
upstreams = [
|
|
{
|
|
destinationName = "backend"
|
|
localBindPort = 8080
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You must include all upstream services in the `upstream` configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Configure your application
|
|
|
|
Use an appropriate environment variable in your container definition to configure your application to call the upstream service at the loopback address.
|
|
|
|
In the following example, the `web` application calls the `backend` service by sending requests to the
|
|
`BACKEND_URL` environment variable:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
module "web" {
|
|
family = "web"
|
|
upstreams = [
|
|
{
|
|
destinationName = "backend"
|
|
localBindPort = 8080
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
container_definitions = [
|
|
{
|
|
name = "web"
|
|
environment = [
|
|
{
|
|
name = "BACKEND_URL"
|
|
value = "http://localhost:8080"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
