Summary

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is an AWS-owned container orchestration service that makes it easy to run and stop tasks without managing the orchestration system itself. You define task definition that contains images, CPU, and memory, and then the ECS Service maintains the number of tasks according to configuration. ECS can run on EC2 or serverless Fargate mode.
