Event Details

This talk covers some of the core architectural principles underlying Amazon ECS, a highly scalable, high performance service to run and manage distributed applications using the Docker container engine.

We walk through a number of patterns used by our customers to run their microservices platforms, to run batch jobs, and for deployments and continuous integration.

We explore the advanced scheduling capabilities of Amazon ECS and dive deep into the Amazon ECS Service Scheduler, which optimizes for long-running applications by monitoring container health, restarting failed containers, and load balancing across containers.
