Overview
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) allows deploying Docker containers on a scalable cluster. Docker images to be deployed typically come from Amazon ECR.
Task
Task Definition
The task definition is the configuration of the application. It specifies the Docker image, how many containers to use for this task and the resource allocation for each container.
Cluster
An Amazon ECS cluster is a regional grouping of one or more container instances (services) on which you can run task requests. Clusters may contain more than one Amazon EC2 instance type.
