Amazon Elastic Container Service

Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a cloud computing service in AWS that manages containers and allows developers to run applications in the cloud without having to configure an environment for the code to run in. It is a scalable service that is accessible through the AWS Console and SDKs.

Uses of Amazon Elastic Container Service Uses of Amazon Elastic Container Service

Amazon ECS is best used with:

• Machine learning – Machine learning (ML) models can be easily containerized for training and inference with Amazon ECS. ML models can be created with loosely coupled, distributed services that can be placed on various platforms or close to the data that’s being processed by the application.
• Microservices – Amazon ECS assists in the operation of microservices applications by providing integration to AWS and enabling CI/CD pipelines.
• Virtual machines – The AWS EC2 service can be used to create Linux virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud. Developers can specify rules for the isolated EC2 instances which increase performance and portability by running on top of a host operating system.
• Migrating apps to the cloud – Applications running on on premisis infrastructure can be easily containerized and transfered to ECS without any code changes.
• Batch processing – Batch processes can be run with schedulers on different types of instances.

Amazon Elastic Container Service features

Scheduling – Schedulers place containers over clusters according to the required resources and availability requirements. This feature can be used to schedule batch jprocesses and applications or services.

Docker integration – Docker is supported by ECS, and allowing AWS users to manage Docker containers across clusters of instances.

Networking – ECS supports Docker networking and integration with Amazon VPC to provide isolation for containers,

Cluster management – ECS manges all of the cluster management processes, which includes installing, operating and scaling, monitoring solutions and configuration management systems as well as building the architecture and managing the availability and scalability of each system.

Task Definitions – Tasks can be defined using JSON template called a Task Definition. Developers can use this to specify which containers they need for them including memory and CPU requirements,

Load balancing – Integration with Load Balancers allows developers to distribute data traffic across containers.

Repository support – Any third party repository, accessible private Docker registry or Docker Hub can be used with Amazon ECS as long as it is specified in the Task Definition.

Local development – The AWS CLI simplify the local development experience and easily set up an ECS cluster and its resources.

Programmatic control – Developers can integrate various APIs with ECS service. The APIs enable users to manage containers and tasks with ECS. AWS Cloud formation can also be used to deliver ECS cluster, task defenitions and schedule containers

Logging – Diagnosis can be made easier by integrating ECS agent logs and Docker container logs with CloudWatch logs.

Monitoring – Monitoring fecilities are included for the containers and clusters. CPU and the memory utilization can be monitored for the running tasks grouped by Task Definition, service or cluster through Amazon CloudWatch.

Container deployments – Containers can be easily updated whenever a new version is uploaded,

Container auto-recovery – Unhealthy containers are automatically recovered by the ECS service scheduler andensures the necessary number of containers are supporting the application.
