Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service provided by AWS. It describes Docker containers as task definitions and runs them on EC2 instances or on serverless Fargate, and it integrates with AWS services such as load balancers, IAM, and CloudWatch. Unlike EKS, which provides Kubernetes as a managed service, it uses AWS's own scheduler, so its configuration is simpler.
