IMO ECS is in a weird position right now, because:
1 - It's simpler thank K8s, but not that much simpler than your avg managed K8s offering
2 - It really locks you in the AWS ecosystem
3 - It is way less used than K8s or just running things on servers, so there are way less help / learning resources
I really don't see how using ECS is much better than EC2 + compose for small setups and this post didn't provide many good arguments to convince me.
- moduspol 3y agoThe IaC / knowledge you need to know to use ECS in a way that replaces EC2 + compose is minimal, bordering on negligible. I'd use it on day 1 (over EC2 + compose) just to avoid managing an OS or deployment infrastructure.
- dabeeeenster 3y agoECS is just docker instances. I don't really see how that locks you in.
- sigstoat 3y ago> It really locks you in the AWS ecosystem the bar for being "locked in" seems to drop further every day.
- pharmakom 3y agoEC2 runs AMIs but ECS runs Docker images. The development experience with Docker containers is a bit smoother.
