AWS Launches ECS Express Mode to Simplify Containerised Application Deployment
"AWS has released Amazon ECS Express Mode, bringing a simplified process to deploying containerised web applications and APIs. Express Mode lets users deploy production-ready services in one shot, bypassing the usual detail required around ancillary requirements such as IAM roles, load-balancers and scaling. In an announcement from AWS, Principal Developer Advocate Donnie Prakoso explains that users can deploy production-ready services by providing a container image, a task execution IAM role and an infrastructure IAM role."
"The system then create all necessary infrastructure components including Application Load Balancer (ALB) with HTTPS support, and any necessary auto-scaling and domain name provisioning. All of the resulting resources remain within the user's AWS account for full visibility and control. Prakoso explains that ECS Express Mode enables users to create cloud architectures for their applications while keeping full control over their infrastructure resources."
Amazon ECS Express Mode simplifies deploying containerised web applications and APIs by automating infrastructure creation from a provided container image and two IAM roles. The service provisions Application Load Balancers with HTTPS, auto-scaling, health checks, domain name provisioning, and monitoring, while leaving all resources inside the user's AWS account for full visibility and control. Express Mode supports public and private HTTPS applications and can host up to 25 services under a single ALB when networking settings allow. The feature runs with AWS Fargate, does not support blue-green deployments, and incurs no extra Express Mode fees beyond normal AWS resource charges.
