Listen "#19 Scaling Container Clusters on AWS: ECS and EKS"

Episode Synopsis

Containers are a powerful tool to streamline your development and deployment process. However, a container cluster - no matter if you are using ECS (Elastic Container Service), EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), or self-managed Kubernetes - increases complexity. You are not only managing virtual machines anymore, but you are also operating containers on top of those virtual machines. Luckily, AWS offers a few approaches to minimize the effort of providing the computing capacity for your container cluster.

- ECS with Cluster Auto Scaling
- ECS with DIY Auto Scaling based on CloudWatch Events and Metrics
- ECS on Fargate
- EKS with Cluster Autoscaler and Managed Node Group
- EKS on Fargate
