ECS

ECS, or Elastic Container Service, is a managed service by Amazon Web Services that makes it easier to run, manage, and scale applications using containers—bundles of code and dependencies. Think of containers as lightweight, portable boxes holding software so they can be moved and run consistently across different environments. ECS handles the deployment, load balancing, and scaling of these containers automatically, allowing developers to focus on building their applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. This helps ensure applications are reliable, scalable, and easier to manage in the cloud.
