"Reliable container orchestration with seamless AWS integration"
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

ECS makes running containerized workloads straightforward - task definitions and service autoscaling let us go from dev to production without hand-holding. Deep integration with IAM, CloudWatch and ALB saved engineering time.

Fargate removed infra ops overhead for many of our microservices. The console + CLI combo is robust and the documentation is practical for implementing CI/CD pipelines. Overall, strong reliability and predictable scaling for production traffic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

Pricing can be confusing across EC2 vs Fargate for sustained workloads, and fine-grained networking setup (ENIs, security groups) has a learning curve. Service discovery between clusters required extra config compared to some managed alternatives, and the console UI could be clearer around task failure diagnostics. Support response times vary depending on your support plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best service to deploy and run a application on AWS"
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

See there is a option to deploy application on EC2 but why i like ECS is because it easily integrates with CICD tools like Jenkins and the fargate serverless option is really good , no need of patching or overhead to maintain server Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

One in a while it becomes issue when some error comes as ECS dont give direct access to inside server where containers are hosted but then we have logs option in cluster console which somehow helps to resolve issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience"
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

I love using ECS to run virtual machines with specific software encoding to the cluster, which makes running different versions of software much easier and better to handle, moreover, we also run microservices such as k4 & K8 using ECS for faster delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

Much harder to cancel a cluster of operations in any given particular order, one has to start from the top and take the FIFO approach for 2x results in deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
