I am getting lost with all the ways to run containers on AWS. Is this the equivalent of google compute engines beta option to boot from a docker container?

- NathanKP 9y agoAWS employee here on the ECS team. ECS on Fargate would be the closest thing to what you are asking for. Upload a container image, create a Fargate cluster, and launch a service on that cluster that runs your container.
- soccerdave 9y agoIs this available today? I thought that's what I heard, but I'm not seeing anything in the AWS console.
- NathanKP 9y agoIt's currently available in the us-east-1 region, under the ECS service in the console. Create a new cluster and Fargate will be an option for launching and operating the cluster.
- soccerdave 9y agoThanks! I must have missed that bit about us-east-1 only
- brazzledazzle 9y agoIt's frustrating how hit or miss their service availability is in each region. I can understand other countries with different laws and regulations but they can't even get some services multi-region in the US.
- stuaxo 9y agoAs a contractor, I come into places and use stuff for about 6 months then move onto the next place with a different setup. The Amazon stuff is especially confusing, it seems they have reinvented just about everything with their own jargon, it really doesn't help.
