Horizontal scaling is streamlined when deploying modern workloads

Pros

"Amazon Elastic Container Service makes horizontal scaling easy and is especially effective when working under the ECS service."

Cons

"Currently, when scaling with Amazon Elastic Container Service, I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory usage to scale up or scale out; there is no option to monitor both simultaneously."

An easy to compute solution that can be used to take complete workloads to the cloud

Pros

"Amazon EC2 Container Service has multiple valuable features like load balancers and autoscalers."

Cons

"The existing domain-joined capability the solution provides during the initial boot-up of the compute should be streamlined and made a little robust."

"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Allows you to choose powerful, smaller, bigger, faster, secure, or dedicated machines based on your needs

Pros

"For Amazon EC2 Container Service, providing the ability for users to select specific processor, memory, disk, and interface types might be an ideal feature. But, the practicality of offering all possible physical combinations is nearly impossible due to the underlying physical machines. AWS and Azure organize options into groups based on essential components like powerful processors or critical interfaces, considering physical restrictions. While expanding these choices is conceivable, it may not be feasible from a financial and practical perspective. Customers generally comprehend this limitation, as even in their own data centers, exact physical machine requirements are often a result of a combination of factors such as price, availability, and new machine generations."

Boosted operational efficiency through seamless integration and auto-scaling features

Pros

"A really good feature of ECS is the integration with AWS services, especially the networking services like Elastic Load Balancer, Service Mesh, and Service Map, which simplifies the service discovery process. "

Cons
