Introduction to Amazon ECS
π’ Introduction to Amazon ECS
π What is Amazon ECS?
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that enables you to:
- β Deploy Docker containers without managing infrastructure.
- β Run highly scalable applications in AWS.
- β Integrate with AWS Fargate for serverless container execution.
- β Automate deployments using AWS CodePipeline.
π Why Use ECS?
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Fully Managed | AWS manages the control plane, scaling, and networking. |
| Flexible Deployment | Supports EC2 instances and AWS Fargate (serverless). |
| Seamless Integration | Works with CodePipeline, ALB, IAM, and CloudWatch. |
| Efficient Scaling | Automatically scales based on traffic and load. |
