Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that makes it simpler to run highly secure, reliable, and scalable containers. Join Nick Coult, GM of Amazon ECS, to hear about how building with Amazon ECS can supercharge your critical business applications.

Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that makes it easy to run highly secure, reliable, and scalable containers. The Amazon ECS team continues to innovate for their users, delivering powerful features that deeply integrate with the rest of AWS.

Containerized applications, especially those using modern micro-service architectural patterns, are often robust to interruption and unexpected termination of individual containers. For this reason, containerized applications are a good fit for EC2 Spot and Fargate Spot.

Getting started with containerized application development often requires you to first provision the infrastructure that will be used to run your containers, what we call “infrastructure-first” development. As serverless technologies such as AWS Fargate become more popular, the need to provision infrastructure often goes away entirely, allowing customers to focus on their applications first.
