>Another annoying thing not mentioned in the article is that the default AMI used for ECS is not at all production ready, you really have to bake your own images if you want something usable. I suppose this is maybe because there's subjectively no "good" defaults, I'm not sure, but it's a bit of a pain. We ran into this as well - I forgot to add this to the post. The Amazon Linux AMI for ECS has _very specific defaults_ that need tweaking.
