Understand what an ECS Optimized AMI is and how you can quickly bootstrap your highly scalable container management service from AWS.
Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable container management service from AWS. With it, you can provision and configure clusters to run your workloads in a scalable and highly available environment. ECS can take care of autoscaling up or down of your workloads depending on parameter boundaries that are set by the user. A compelling feature of using ECS is you can leverage other services from AWS like load balancers, storage, and database backends (RDS) to provide your clients with a robust solution driven by container services.
Underneath this robust container orchestration solution from AWS is the ECS-Agent which allows container instances to connect to your ECS cluster and Docker the industry-standard container runtime engine. ECS Optimized images bundle ECS-Agent, Docker and a rock solid operating system (Linux or Windows) to provide a battle-tested container orchestration solution.
ECS Optimized images make it easy to roll out your own container solution powered by AWS ECS in 1-click deployment. Our teams have built and packaged some of the best operating systems and provide them to all AWS customers in the AWS marketplace.
