Features of ECS
Some of the features of ECS are listed below:
- Removes the need for users to manage their CPU type clusterthe management system by interacting with AWS Fargate.
- Allows seamless deployment of container-based applications. This can be scheduled or done by simple API calls.
- AWS ECS takes care of the management and monitoring of the application cluster.
- Amazon ECS is region specific. This means that a cluster can only scale up/down (start-up or shut-down container instances) in a single region.
- Clusters are dynamically scalable.
Introduction to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), also known as Amazon EC2 Container Service, is a managed service that allows users to run Docker-based applications packaged as containers across a cluster of EC2 instances. Running simple containers on a single EC2 instance is simple but running these applications on a cluster of instances and managing the cluster is being administratively heavy process. With ECS, Fargate launch type, the load, and responsibility of managing the EC2 cluster is transferred over to the AWS and you can focus on application development rather than management of your cluster architecture.AWS Fargate is the AWS service that allows ECS to run containers without having to manage and provision the resources required for running these applications.
