Amazon ECS Supports Windows Server Containers

Posted on: Dec 20, 2016

Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) now provides beta support for Windows Server Containers. Microsoft Windows Server 2016 supports Docker, enabling Windows users to package applications into images that can be run on any Windows 2016 server. You can now use Amazon ECS to deploy and scale your Windows Containers across your Amazon EC2 Windows instances. 

Amazon ECS is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon ECS eliminates the need for you to install, operate, and scale your own cluster management infrastructure.
