Amazon Elastic Container Service (AWS ECS)
Introduction
Course Introduction
Hello everyone! My name is Sanjeev Thiyagarajan, and I will be your instructor for this lesson.
In this article, we will explore AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) and learn how to deploy containerized applications efficiently. We will start with the fundamentals of ECS, covering:
- An overview of what ECS is and how it works.
- An in-depth look at ECS components including tasks, task definitions, and services.
- A detailed comparison of the different launch types, outlining their advantages, limitations, and best-use scenarios.
Once you have a solid understanding of ECS concepts, we will move on to practical deployments by building several applications on ECS. During this phase, you will learn about essential configurations, the purpose of each configuration, and when to choose one option over another.
Key Deployment Steps
A key part of this lesson is learning how to deploy a new version of your application. You can achieve this using a simple Docker command:
docker build . -t <your-tag>
Finally, we will cover how to integrate an AWS load balancer to effectively manage traffic for your ECS cluster. This integration is crucial for ensuring that your applications are scalable and highly available.
Let's begin our journey into ECS and discover why it is an excellent choice for deploying containerized applications.
