An earlier blog published last year (Part 1 in the series), Metrics collection from HAQM ECS using HAQM Managed Service for Prometheus, demonstrated how to deploy Prometheus server on an HAQM ECS cluster, dynamically discover the services to collect metrics from, and send metrics to HAQM Managed Service for Prometheus for subsequent query and visualization. […]

Since 2015, hundreds of thousands of developers have chosen HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) as their orchestration service for cluster management. Developers trust HAQM ECS with the lifecycle of their mission-critical applications, from initial deployment to rolling out new versions of their code and autoscaling in response to changing traffic levels. Alongside these long-lived application tasks, HAQM […]

HAQM EC2 Spot Instances use spare HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud  (HAQM EC2) capacity at up to a 90% discount compared to On-Demand prices. HAQM EC2 can interrupt Spot Instances with a two-minute notification when EC2 needs the capacity back. Spot Instances are an ideal option for applications that are stateless, fault-tolerant, scalable, and flexible, such as big data, […]

We recently announced the general availability of HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) service extension for Consul service mesh in AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). This is a new integration that makes it easier for customers to use Consul as a service mesh on HAQM ECS. In this blog post, we show you how […]

Customers running their container workloads on HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) have a choice of AWS Fargate and also using Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances with the HAQM ECS-optimized AMI. One of the requests (issue #176) that our customers submitted, was to allow them to create their own ECS HAQM Machine Image (AMI). Today […]

When deploying containers to HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS), customers have choices as to what level of management they want or need to have over the cluster compute. First there is AWS Fargate, which is a serverless compute engine that removes the need for customers to provision and manage servers. This approach simplifies the […]

When using HAQM EC2 for compute capacity in HAQM Elastic Container Service (HAQM ECS) clusters, a common pattern customers follow is to schedule a single instance of a task across all or select nodes in the cluster. This includes running tasks that handle log and/or metrics collection such as Fluentd or the DataDog agent, node […]
