Amazon Elastic Container Service Container 3 Icon

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that simplifies deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications on AWS. It handles tasks like scheduling containers onto your virtual machines or on AWS Fargate, a serverless compute engine that takes away all the management of underlying servers. This makes it ideal for running microservices-based applications, easily scaling them up or down based on demand, and managing updates with minimal operational overhead.
