The document discusses Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS), a highly scalable and high performance container management service. It provides an overview of ECS and its key components like tasks, containers, clusters and container instances. The summary also includes a demo showing how to create an ECS cluster, register a task definition and run a task using the WordPress application. It concludes with upcoming features for ECS and notes that pricing is based on underlying AWS resources used.

20. Cluster management service

21. Manages your containers

22. Manages cluster state

23. Schedules containers onto
your cluster

24. Scalable

25. High performance

26. Secure

27. Your containers,
your instances

28. VPC

29. Security Groups

30. Network ACLs

31. Components

32. Tasks
Containers
Clusters
Container Instances

33. Task: A grouping of related containers
Nginx Web Server Rails Application
MySQL Database
Log Collector

34. Task Definition
{ “family” : “my-website”,
“version” : “1.0”
“containers” : [
<<CONTAINER DEFINTIONS>>
]
}

35. Container Definition
• Names and identifies your image
• Includes default runtime attributes for your container
– Environment Variables
– Port Mappings
– Container entry point and commands
– Resource constraints
– Etc..

36. Example
{ “name” : “webServer”,
“image” : “nginx:latest”
“cpu” : 512,
“memory” : 128,
“portMappings” : [ { “containerPort” :
9443, “hostPort” : 443 }],
“links” : [“rails”],
“essential” : true
}

37. Tasks
Containers
Clusters
Container Instances

38. Cluster
• Provides a pool of resources for your Tasks
• A grouping of Container Instances
• Starts empty, dynamically scalable

39. Container Instance
• An instance on which Tasks are scheduled
• Runs AMI with ECS Agent installed
• Registers into cluster on launch

40. Demo

41. The following are in lieu of the demo which is available on Youtube. The demo shows
a more complex use case
