Amazon ECS
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a scalable container orchestration service for running and managing containers on AWS, like Docker containers. Docker is a software platform for building, testing, and deploying applications quickly.
Amazon ECS launch types​
Amazon ECS with Amazon EC2​
Ideal for small-to-medium businesses that need full control over infrastructure. Suitable for custom applications requiring specific hardware or networking configurations, with the flexibility of Amazon EC2 and the simplicity of Amazon ECS.
Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate​
Perfect for startups or small teams building web applications with variable traffic. It's a serverless option—no server management required—so teams can focus on development while Amazon ECS handles scaling and orchestration.
