What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

The force new deployment checkbox was a game changer!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)?

- the UI is really unintuative and slow

- "active" and "primary" are really confusing names

- it's frustrating that we can't use an old task def once there is a new primay (active?). sometimes in urgent situations when we've rolled out a bug or bad deploy, what we've ended up doing as a workaround is copying and editing the raw JSON and manually creating a new task def

- 3000 container limit per service is frustrating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
