Bindplane OTel Collector

Deploy BDOT Collectors on AWS ECS for scalable, managed collector deployment with automatic scaling and monitoring.

This section provides comprehensive guides for deploying BDOT Collectors on AWS ECS using both Fargate and EC2 launch types.

Deployment Options

AWS ECS Fargate

• Serverless compute - No EC2 instances to manage

• Automatic scaling - Scales based on demand

• Pay-per-use - Only pay for resources consumed

• Quick deployment - Faster to get started

• Best for: Variable workloads, quick deployments, minimal infrastructure management

AWS ECS EC2

• Full control - Manage underlying EC2 instances

• Cost-effective - More predictable pricing for consistent workloads

• Custom configurations - Full control over instance types and configurations

• SSH access - Direct access to instances for debugging

• Best for: Consistent workloads, cost optimization, custom requirements

Quick Start

Fargate Deployment

# Deploy with CloudFormation
aws cloudformation create-stack \
  --stack-name bindplane-collector-ecs-fargate \
  --template-body file://YOUR_CLOUDFORMATION_FILE.yaml \
  --parameters \
    ParameterKey=CollectorSecretKey,ParameterValue=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
    ParameterKey=OpampEndpoint,ParameterValue=wss://app.bindplane.com/v1/opamp \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

EC2 Deployment

# Deploy with CloudFormation
aws cloudformation create-stack \
  --stack-name bindplane-collector-ecs-ec2 \
  --template-body file://YOUR_CLOUDFORMATION_FILE.yaml \
  --parameters \
    ParameterKey=CollectorSecretKey,ParameterValue=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
    ParameterKey=OpampEndpoint,ParameterValue=wss://app.bindplane.com/v1/opamp \
    ParameterKey=InstanceType,ParameterValue=t3.medium \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
