Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) is a high performance, highly scalable service that helps you run and manage Docker-enabled applications on a cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. One of the key features of Amazon ECS is the service scheduler. The service scheduler allows you to run long running applications by re-scheduling failed tasks, integration with Elastic Load Balancing, application scaling, and deploying new versions of your task. In this tutorial you will learn about key Amazon ECS concepts like clusters, tasks, and service. You will gets hands on experience with setting up and launching a cluster, defining your tasks, and running services. While no AWS experience is required, some knowledge of Amazon EC2 and Docker will make this tutorial more useful to you.
