Boost Infrastructure Efficiency with AWS ECS Capacity Provider Strategy

Introduction:

Explore the simplicity of scaling in the AWS cloud by diving deep into the AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) capacity providers. AWS ECS is revolutionizing the world of container orchestration, and capacity providers are essential in streamlining the scaling process.

In this blog, we will explore the concept of Capacity Providers in Amazon ECS. We’ll delve into the reasons for choosing Capacity Providers in Amazon ECS, understand how they function, examine the various types of Capacity Providers, explore the significance of weight and base settings within Capacity Providers, and take a closer look at the potential drawbacks associated with their usage.

What is a Capacity Provider:

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a robust container orchestration service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed to simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. At the heart of ECS lies the concept of Capacity Providers. It’s a fundamental element streamlining the intricate process of managing the compute resources that underpin your containerized workloads.

Applications Hosting on ECS

Introduction

Applications hosting on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a cloud computing solution provided by AWS that enables organizations to manage, scale, and deploy containerized applications with ease. ECS simplifies container deployment and management, enabling developers to concentrate on creating and running their applications.

In this blog, we will create a repository, copy an image to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), define a task, and set up an ECS cluster to host an application on Amazon ECS.

Create a repo and Copy an Image in ECR

Amazon ECR is a fully managed container registry service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows you to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images. Please follow the below steps to create a repo in ECR and copy an image to that ECR.

Multi-Account Management using AWS Control Tower

Introduction

When an organization grows rapidly with time then the complexity of their cloud infrastructure, security concerns, and the need for better resource management also grows. Then there is a need for a more efficient and secure way to manage the workloads. To overcome these problems we can use multiple aws accounts in our aws environment. Some use cases where we can segregate AWS accounts are as follows: Continue reading “Multi-Account Management using AWS Control Tower”
