How to create Elastic Container Service(ECS) in AWS

To create Elastic Container Service (ECS) in AWS

Introduction:

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a very scalable, durable container management service that makes it simple to run, halt, and control containers on a cluster. The containers are specified in a task definition that handles to run individual tasks or tasks within a service. Amazon ECS allows you to launch and hold container-based applications by using simple API calls. You can also recover the state of your cluster from a centralized service and have access to several familiar Amazon EC2 features.

Steps to create ECS:

Login to your AWS account: Choose ECS in console page: Create a repository: Change the Container name:

Change the service name: Give the Cluster name and create: It will take time to create service: View the service and click tasks: Open eni-id: Check the Network interface in EC2:

Once completed delete repository: Remove the extra task definition: With this method creation of ECS in AWS comes to an end.

FAQ
Q
Is ECS a free tier?
A
ECS is free. For both, EKS and ECS you have to pay for the underlying EC2 instances and related resources.
Q
What is the ECS payment method?
A
It is a mode of electronic funds transfer from one bank account to another bank account using the services of a Clearing House. ECS (Credit) is used for affording credit to a large number of beneficiaries by raising a single debit to an account, such as dividend, interest, or salary payment.
Q
What is the difference between Amazon ECS and Amazon EC2?
A
EC2 allows you to launch individual instances which you can use for pretty much whatever you like. ECS is a container service, which means it will launch instances that will be ready to launch container applications. Once you register an EC2 instance inside an ECS cluster, containers are ready to run in it.
Q
How does AWS ECS work?
A
ECS runs your containers on a cluster of Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) virtual machine instances pre-installed with Docker. It handles installing containers, scaling, monitoring, and managing these instances through both an API and the AWS Management Console.
Q
