Amazon Elastic Container Service Primary Use Case

Salvador Fernández - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Architect at iwell iwell Co.Co.

I use the product for Azure folders, which act as a shared folder between the servers. I utilize it as a network file system for storing logs and managing software across all the servers in various availability zones. I have two instances: one for production and another for QA and testing purposes. I mount this file system across all virtual machines, creating a unified storage solution for logs, outputs, and other data generated by various jobs and tasks.

The Amazon EC2 Container Service involves lifting and shifting the on-site environment into AWS. It's a simple copying of your applications since you don't create new virtual machines.

I use the solution in my company since the front end of my application is deployed on Amazon Elastic Container Service. The back end of the application was deployed on Amazon EC2 for microservices. The front-end and microservices, like shipments, inventories, and a few other areas, are deployed on Amazon Elastic Container Service.

I use Amazon ECS to easily set up and manage resources for my applications, similar to Kubernetes but simpler. I work with ECS through the command line, and I installed a tool called QCTL to make it even more user-friendly. With ECS, I can write code to describe my applications, and then I can quickly deploy them. It is a very efficient way to handle containerized applications, whether it is a simple website or a complex system.

We use Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) for efficient container orchestration. We start by creating Docker containers and then storing them in ECS. It facilitates container deployment, offering flexibility between serverless execution and traditional EC2 instances. It enables automated deployments, providing an option to edit them as needed through integrated CI/CD pipelines.

Cloud DevOps engineer at DeepMetis

I am using AWS ECS combined with AWS Fargate in order to orchestrate our containers. To explain what that means, I will give an example. Suppose you are running a microservices architecture in which you have multiple containers within multiple services. ECS is the tool that helps you orchestrate all of that, by providing you with the ability to scale up / down your containers and monitor them. Also, with ECS, you can identify any problems or bugs with your containers.

We had a microservices architecture operating in this manner, and we needed some kind of solution to help us manage and orchestrate all our containers. Here we had a choice between something like Kubernetes or ECS, and we chose to use ECS because we didn't have a very large or complex architecture with many containers. Instead, we only have a few containers, yet they still needed orchestration in many ways, which ECS was able to provide.

DevOps Engineer at OnGraph Technologies Limited

I have set up Container Service environments for various clients using different cloud providers, including AWS. I have used the Amazon Elastic Container Service in this capacity.

One of my clients from Israel is running web-based applications that are using PostgreSQL as the backend database connection. I think that it is a user-learning software, and they provide it to big companies to give KT sessions for new employees.

They use the Totara application and for that, we have set up the infrastructure including VBA and database applications. We also manage their Amazon Route 53, and we have set up Jenkins for CICD purposes.

The solution is to compute instances. Basically, it's a debit. It's a host. For example, if you need a computer that you want to install your enterprise application, instead of buying a server on-premise, you can spin up an instance online.
