🚢 Introduction to Amazon ECS

📌 What is Amazon ECS?

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that enables you to:

  • ✅ Deploy Docker containers without managing infrastructure.
  • ✅ Run highly scalable applications in AWS.
  • ✅ Integrate with AWS Fargate for serverless container execution.
  • ✅ Automate deployments using AWS CodePipeline.

📌 Why Use ECS?

Flexible Deployment Supports EC2 instances and AWS Fargate (serverless).
Seamless Integration Works with CodePipeline, ALB, IAM, and CloudWatch.
Efficient Scaling Automatically scales based on traffic and load.
