Amazon ECS Managed Instances is now available in Amazon Web Services China Regions
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region, operated by NWCD. ECS Managed Instances is a fully managed compute option designed to eliminate infrastructure management overhead while giving you access to the full capabilities of Amazon EC2. By offloading infrastructure operations to Amazon Web Services, you get the application performance you want and the simplicity you need while reducing your total cost of ownership.
ECS Managed Instances dynamically scales EC2 instances to match your workload requirements and continuously optimizes task placement to reduce infrastructure costs. It also enhances your security posture through regular security patching initiated every 14 days. You can simply define your task requirements such as the number of vCPUs, memory size, and CPU architecture, and Amazon ECS automatically provisions, configures and operates most optimal EC2 instances within your account using Amazon Web Services-controlled access. You can also specify desired instance types in ECS Managed Instances Capacity Provider configuration, including GPU-accelerated, network-optimized, and burstable performance, to run your workloads on the instance families you prefer. Additionally, you can configure your ECS Managed Instances Capacity Providers to use EC2 Spot for cost optimization or Capacity Reservations to ensure capacity availability.
To get started with ECS Managed Instances, use the Amazon Web Services Console, or your favorite infrastructure-as-code tooling to enable it in a new or existing Amazon ECS cluster. You will be charged for the management of compute provisioned, in addition to your regular Amazon EC2 costs.
