Hello and welcome to this short lecture which will provide a high level overview of the amazon ec2 container service commonly known as amazon ecs.
Aws ecs container communication.
Highly secure reliable and scalable way to run containers.
Using containers to automate security deployments.
Customers such as duolingo samsung ge and cookpad use ecs to run their most sensitive and mission critical applications because of its security reliability and scalability.
Amazon elastic container service amazon ecs is a fully managed container orchestration service.
Deploy and manage containers with docker on amazon ec2.
Tasks running on amazon ec2 container service amazon ecs can now take advantage of awsvpc mode for container networking.
This new mode allocates an elastic networking interface to each running task providing a dynamic private ip address and internal dns name.
After a cluster is up and running you can create task definitions that define which container images to run across your clusters.
Ecs is a great choice to run containers for several reasons.
Container instances need access to communicate with the amazon ecs service endpoint.
Ecs tasks enable you to manage containers and define communication between containers use task definitions to control images cpu memory links ports and iam roles use the new iam roles definition to isolate credentials and authorization between tasks.
For more information about interface vpc endpoints see amazon ecs interface vpc endpoints aws privatelink.
You can create amazon ecs clusters within a new or existing vpc.
I created a single ecs cluster that has 2 services one for each of the above each with a task container.
This simplifies container networking operations allowing tasks to run with full networking features on aws just like ec2 instances.
Store and retrieve container images using the amazon ec2 container registry.
This can be through an interface vpc endpoint or through your container instances having public ip addresses.
Amazon ecs is a regional service that simplifies running containers in a highly available manner across multiple availability zones within a region.
In this example my code in kcentral services can refer to rabbitmq container and it resolves fine.
Orchestrate containers with amazon elastic container service ecs run kubernetes managed infrastructure on aws eks monitor manage back up and restore containers on aws.
As each container starts and becomes healthy ecs updates the load balancer so that it knows the address of the new container.
