Can confirm this was a intense 12 hours of work to get it working properly. Their example and explanation in the docs is also very vague and borderline misleading at points.
Another example is Google cloud run vs elastic container service. Cloud run is dead easy to get up and running. ECS is a mess of confusing terminology and unnecessary complexity. I literally do not care what class of machine you will use to run my container. If I cared that much I would have used a proper EC2 instance.
- throwaway894345 4y agoHave you looked at ECS Fargate? That should manage the instances for you transparently. It’s been around for probably five years or so.
- cube00 4y agoI think I'd rather take the 12 hour hit and get it working on EC2 then paying the ongoing convenience fee charged for Fargate.
- acdha 4y agoUnless your time is free, you have to run a ton of containers to break even, especially because Fargate avoids paying for EC2 capacity which can’t fit a container. It’s certainly possible to save money but my experience has been that people save less than expected once they account for ops time.
