The first time I heard/read about ECS, I thought it's going to be like Lambda for containers. Amazon took the managing instances, managing containers, selected the hardest to comprehend parts and wrapped with with a cumbersome JSON definition.

I deploy a container and I don't want to worry about anything else after that. For now, I'd seriously focus on HTTP facing services. With simple health checks rules for scaling.
