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

I like that I can launch EC2 instances with a few clicks and with the right amount of computing power from the beginning while maintaining the possibility to scale it in the future with a few clicks as well. This would have taken months in an on-premise environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Rebooting time on some instances especially first tiers of small and nano instances can take substantial time to reboot.

You can't easily move the instances from one availability region to the other. You can create images, but the images don't appear in the other region. This might be improved in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the business EC2 container service has improved:
