#### **💡** Note

This step is only needed if you want to make requests to internal services from a cloud Tines tenant.

### **Step 1. Prepare the tines-tunnel Docker image** for upload to AWS ECR

Again, to make things a little easier, we copy the image from Docker Hub into an ECR repository:

```bash

```

### **Step 2. Create and upload the .env file to S3**

```bash

```

### **Step 3. Create the IAM roles for running the containers**

```bash

```

### **Step 4. Prepare a security group**

```bash

```

### **Step 5. Create the ECS task definitions and cluster**

```bash

```

### **Step 6. Start the service**

```bash

```

### Automatic Restarts with AWS Fargate

**Note:** When you deploy the Tines Tunnel using an ECS Service on AWS Fargate (as described above), the service will automatically ensure that the tunnel container is always running. If the container or underlying infrastructure stops or restarts for any reason, ECS will automatically launch a new instance to maintain the desired count. No additional configuration is required for automatic restarts, this is handled by the ECS Service itself.
