If you are on AWS and do not have a lot of time or personnel skilled enough to maintain an orchestration platform, using ECS in Fargate mode is a good choice. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
The tool initially required a significant amount of development time on the backend, but in terms of efficiency, it's a one-time effort. Once set up, it can be used for a long time, and maintenance doesn't require much effort. I rate it an eight out of ten.
In our company, the process for creating Amazon ECS services involves having a repository in it. If there's a need to edit variables or resources, we pull the repository to our local terminal, make the necessary edits, and push the changes back to the repository. Subsequently, we deploy using Jenkins. You can easily define the number of containers running in your cluster and manage them. Autoscaling and load balancing are handled automatically by AWS. We create clusters, which are logical groups of container systems where tasks can be placed. We can create clusters using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDKs. During the setup, we decide whether to use an ECS-optimized Amazon Machine Image for launching instances or create a launch configuration for an autoscaling group. I rate the product a seven out of ten.
The new users would need help to deploy the CI/CD pipeline for the product. They need to follow proper documentation. It also provides some settings for automated deployment. We integrated ECS for a logistics project. It is working fine without any downtime for five microservices. I rate it an eight out of ten.
The organizational structure consists of a head office and regional offices. Each regional office has a designated point person responsible for user support in their respective region and division. Our primary scope involves the development of the application, deployment, and providing training. I rate the solution a ten out of ten. In our case, the requirements are straightforward. The console offers all the necessary information for basic operations. However, for those new to using the AWS tool, it's advisable to visit their training website to read and understand the instructions on how to set up and use the tool effectively. The basic setup is covered in the training resources.

The billing is really painful. The product must provide some intuitive notification to inform us if we are not doing something the best way. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We are integrators. We use a lot of Amazon products. I would rate the solution eight out of ten. I would recommend a competitor's product. I would recommend, for example, Oracle Compute Instances or Oracle Cloud. I wouldn't recommend AWS EC2 due to the cost. It can get out of control. For example, once I left my EC2 on for a few days with some services running, and in three days I lost a thousand dollars. It's quite costly if you are not very careful.
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, high-performance container orchestration service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run and scale containerized applications on AWS. Amazon ECS eliminates the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software, manage and scale a cluster of virtual machines, or schedule containers on those virtual machines.
If you are on AWS and do not have a lot of time or personnel skilled enough to maintain an orchestration platform, using ECS in Fargate mode is a good choice. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
