Announcing HAQM ECS Task Scale-in protection

Introduction We are excited to launch HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) Task Scale-in protection, which is a new capability that gives customers control over protecting HAQM ECS service tasks from being terminated by scale-in events from HAQM ECS service Auto Scaling or deployments. Customers can simply mark their mission-critical tasks as protected from scale-in […]

Faster Scaling-in for HAQM ECS Cluster Auto Scaling

Faster Scaling-in for HAQM ECS Cluster Auto Scaling

Introduction HAQM Elastic Container Service (ECS) customers who use Cluster auto scaling (CAS) have expressed that they would like to scale-in more quickly so that they can avoid paying extra charges for compute resources during scale-in events. To make scaling-in more responsive, today we are pleased to introduce an enhancement to increase the scale-in step […]

Using HAQM ECS with NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate drug discovery

Using HAQM ECS with NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate drug discovery

This post was written in collaboration with Neel Patel, Drug Discovery Scientist, Nvidia. Drug discovery is the process through which potential new medicines are identified. It involves a wide range of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacology, as well as computer science. AstraZeneca and NVIDIA collaborated on developing MegaMolBART so the computational drug discovery process […]

Migrating and modernizing Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) workloads onto AWS container services

Introduction Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a framework created by Microsoft in 2008 for building service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications. It provides a set of libraries for building web services, using different network protocols to send and receive data between service endpoints. With the introduction of .NET Core in 2016 and the emergence of microservices, our […]

Understanding data transfer costs for AWS container services

Overview Data transfer costs can play a significant role in determining the overall design of a system. The HAQM Elastic Container Registry (HAQM ECR), HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS), and HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) can all incur data transfer charges depending on a variety of factors. It can be difficult to visualize what […]

How to use components to augment the infrastructure in an AWS Proton template

Introduction AWS Proton is a managed service that helps platform engineers scale their impact by defining, vending, and maintaining infrastructure templates for self-service deployments. With Proton, customers can standardize centralized templates to meet security, cost, and compliance goals. Proton helps platform engineers scale up their impact with a self-service model, resulting in higher velocity for […]

ECS auto scaling using custom metrics

HAQM Elastic Container Service (ECS) Auto Scaling using custom metrics

Introduction HAQM ECS eliminates the need to install, operate, and scale your own cluster management infrastructure. Customers are using horizontal scalability to deploy and scale their microservices applications running on HAQM ECS. They use the Application Auto Scaling service to automatically scale based on metrics data. HAQM ECS typically measures service utilization based on average […]
