Amazon ECS: Running Containers on AWS

Elastic Container Service is AWS's container orchestration service. I started with Docker locally and then moved to ECS to run containers in production. You define tasks in a task definition (like a Docker compose file) and choose between EC2 launch type (you manage servers) or Fargate (serverless containers). Fargate is great for beginners because there are no servers to manage. I run a web app on Fargate with an Application Load Balancer in front, and it's been rock solid.
