Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service)

Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) is a cloud-based service that helps companies run, manage, and scale applications made up of containers—small, lightweight digital packages containing software and its dependencies. Think of it as a highly efficient warehouse that organizes and automatically handles the deployment of these containers, ensuring applications run smoothly and can grow easily when needed. ECS simplifies infrastructure management, allowing developers to focus on building features rather than worrying about hardware or server setups, all while providing reliable, scalable, and secure operation within the Amazon Web Services environment.
