This repository contains description of the third Cloudopoly challenge. Cloudopoly is a set of challenges targeted towards raising awareness of AWS stack. Winners will get prizes from AWS! The first Cloudopoly will have 3 challenges, one per month. By getting 3 times in top 3 you will win a special prize from LatCraft.

Information about the first challenge can be found here. Second challenge is described here.

Problem definition

Create deployment service for Docker containers on top of AWS infrastructure.

The service must expose the following endpoints:

/containers

POST spins up new container in a region with fewest deployed containers. JSON body contains publicly accessible Docker image id { "imageId": "<imageId>" }. Image, when ran, starts web app that exposes /ping endpoint on port 8080.

GET lists all deployed containers in the following format:

[
	{ "id": "<containerId>", "region": "<region>"  },
	{ "id": "<containerId>", "region": "<region>"  }
	...
]

... where <containerId> uniquely identifies container and <region> is, well, region (e.g. us-east-1).

/containers?region=<region>

POST spins up new container in a given <region>.

GET lists deployed containers in a given <region>.

/containers/{containerId}

DELETE undeploys container by <containerId>

/regions

GET lists all regions available for deployment in the following format:

[
	{ "region": "<region>" }
	{ "region": "<region>" }
	...
]

/app/{containerId}

GET forwards request to the web application deployed under {containerId}. That said, /app/{containerId}/ping must delegate to /ping mapped under port 8080.

Requirements

• Any programming language, any operating system
• Deploy your service to AWS EC2
• Use whatever instances you want
• Send IP address of your service before 02.03.2015 18:00 to [email protected]
• On 02.03.2015 20:00 we start the test!
• Keep EC2 instances running in at least 2 regions during testing time

Winner election

Winners will be selected based on solution correctness and robustness.

Good luck!
