An Introduction to AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS)

Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a powerful serverless compute option on AWS. It allows us to deploy, run and manage clusters of containers in a serverless fashion in the AWS cloud.

But what is serverless, what is Docker & containerisation and why is all this needed?

The video also provides an introduction to Docker and containerisation and motivates the use of ECS by first going through a workflow for running containerised applications on server-based EC2 environments.
