For a full discussion of the benefits of using EKS vs. ECS, consult this AWS blog.

Deploying an AWS ECS Service in DuploCloud

Unlike AWS EKS, creating and deploying services and apps with ECS requires creating a Task Definition, a blueprint for your application. Once you create a Task Definition, you can run it as a Task or as a Service. In this tutorial, we run the Task Definition as a Service.

To deploy your app with AWS ECS in this ECS tutorial, you:

  1. Create a Task Definition using ECS.

  2. Create a DuploCloud Service named webapp, backed by a Docker image.

  3. Expose the app to the web with a Load Balancer.

  4. Complete the tutorial by testing your application.

Estimated time to complete remaining tutorial steps: 30-40 minutes
