Seconded--I can tell the ECS documentation is trying to help, but the foreign task/service/cluster model + crude console UI keeps telling me to let my workload ride on EC2 and maybe come back later.
- sandGorgon 11y agowhat I figured out much later was that ECS is a thin layer on top of a number of AWS services - they use an AMI that I can use, ec2 VMs that I can run myself and Security Groups + IAMs that I can create by my own. But the way they have built the ECS layer is very very VERY bad.. and I have an unusually high threshold for documentation pain.
- nzoschke 11y agoI work on Convox, an open source PaaS. Currently it is AWS only. It sets up a cluster correctly in a few minutes. Then you have a simple API - apps, builds, releases, environment and processes - to work with. Under the hood we deploy to ECS but you don't have to worry about it. So I do agree that ECS is hard to use but with better tooling it doesn't have to be. I'm also a big fan of how GKE is shaping up.
