Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)

At my company we build lots of internal applications for various functions such as operations (warehouse management things), marketing, customer service etc. Each of these applications supporting their respective function(s) has a variable amount of users that may need to use the application at any given time. With ECS, we are able to scale our availability based on the amount of users fluidly.
  • Flexibility in pricing
  • Ability down grade the usage when user count is low
  • Ability to scale to a large user base quickly
  • A cleaner container service road map
  • It would be. nice to have more AI recommended cluster reductions
  • The UX could use some simplification
  • The flexibility to choose to different service levels
  • The ability to pay for only what we use
  • The ability to scale when necessary
  • The uptime has increased user adoption for internal applications
  • The pricing model has saved us a ton of money
  • The ability to scale down allows us to push resources to other needs
The comparison between Amazon ECS versus Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for us came down to the other services already in motion. A lot of companies tend to go really deep with a particular vendor (Amazon, Google, Microsoft etc) and we were already using a bunch of Amazon services. The bundle pricing in that scenario made sense for us to stick with Amazon.

The ability to customize how your product works plays a big role in the decision process. Whether you need help on the processor, storage, or networking side, choosing the right style of ECS is important. We are using ECS mainly on the storage side, which is well suited if one of our applications ends up needing to load a ton of data.
