What is the difference between AWS ECS and EKS?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:22 pm

AWS ECS is an open-source platform as a service (PaaS) that provides an automation layer for running applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS ECS enables developers to create and run applications in a managed environment, with automatic scaling, load balancing, and failover.

AWS ECS is built on the AWSnative compute and storage infrastructure, making it easy to use and manage.

PRO TIP: There is no difference between AWS ECS and EKS.

AWS ECS differs from AWS EKS in that AWS EKS is a container orchestration service that provides a runtime for running applications in containers. AWS EKS enables developers to deploy and manage applications in containers on the AWS cloud.

AWS EKS uses the same AWS native compute and storage infrastructure as AWS ECS, making it easy to use and manage.
