Introduction I’ll be honest when I say running a high-traffic production environment on AWS is fun…. until you see the cloud bill.

It allows you to run two containers of a service on a single server on dynamic ports which ALB automatically detects and reconfigures itself. Amazon EC2 Container Service ECS is a managed container service that allows you to run...
If you are hosting some micro websites on the AWS ECS, where every task is a separate application, and each task has running multiple containers on a Cluster. If we have a scenario where we want each of our application should upload its data to a separate AWS S3 bucket, we create a single role giving access to all S3 buckets and attach...

We are using a lambda function to trigger AWS ECS container auto-scaling that is executed on the SNS event. Below is the AWS Lambda code in node.js that will get Cluster Name, Service Name & Operator...
