- Need intervention to scale the applications up or down
- Time-consuming
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Beanstalk

- Scalability
- Unsuitable for complex applications
AWS Elasticsearch Kubernetes Service (EKS)
- Increased availability
- Not specific to platform
- Slightly costly compared to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)
- High expectations to learn and adapt
Pros ECS’s greatest advantage is scalability
- It handles millions of requests per hour
- Applications can be scaled based on the system usage and load
- Need not worry about infrastructure when services are deployed
- There is integration with related AWS services
- Building the Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline helps build services, run tests, code analysis, and deployment
- Pricing Model helps in saving costs by paying only for the resources you use
- Save up to ~90% cost with Fargate & Fargate Spot Type
Cons
- User must understand concepts surrounding containerization, clusters, services, and ECS-specific tasks
- Using Spot Instance, AWS can recover any time making the application unstable at times
