Amazon Elastic Container Service
Easily build, manage, and run containerized applications at any scale
Why Amazon ECS?
Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that enables teams to build, manage, and run even the most demanding containerized workloads without the complexity of infrastructure management, freeing up development teams to innovate faster. Amazon ECS empowers you to leverage AWS best practices to drive well-architected outcomes of availability, reliability, and performance while strengthening security through application isolation, IAM roles, automated patching, encrypted ephemeral storage, and native AWS security integrations. With pay-as-you-go pricing, efficient resource utilization and offloading operational tasks, Amazon ECS reduces total cost of ownership so development teams can focus on delivering business value.
