Amazon EC2 Container Service Supports UDP Protocol

Posted on: Jul 7, 2015

You can now use the UDP protocol with containers on Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS). Docker enables container network connectivity by supporting the ability to expose a container port to a host port. Previously, Amazon ECS only supported TCP ports in task definitions. Now, you can also define UDP ports in your task definitions allowing you to use whichever protocol (i.e., TCP or UDP) your applications need. Learn more here.
