Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) in AWS European Sovereign Cloud

This topic describes the functionality of Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that helps you to more efficiently deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications. It deeply integrates with the AWS environment to provide an easy-to-use solution for running container workloads in the cloud and on premises with advanced security features using Amazon ECS Anywhere.

How Amazon ECS differs

The following differences apply to Amazon ECS:

  • Only IPv4 endpoints are supported.

  • AWS Fargate platform versions and AMIs are built using region-specific repositories and configurations optimized for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud environment.

  • Fargate AMIs in AWS European Sovereign Cloud use specialized certificate bundles and network configurations for secure operation within the sovereign infrastructure.

  • Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization when provisioning Amazon EBS volume from a snapshot is not available.

  • Amazon EBS volumes for Windows containers are not available.

  • Windows containers are not available on Fargate.

  • Only Rolling or External Deployments are supported for ECS services.

  • Release notes on Github for an Amazon ECS-optimized AMI release may be published prior to AMIs for that release being available.

  • Exact source Amazon Linux 2 or Amazon Linux 2023 images used as a base for building Linux variants of the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI in AWS European Sovereign Cloud regions may differ from source images used in other AWS regions.

Example

We recommend that you query the Systems Manager Parameter Store API as the source of truth for Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs metadata in any AWS region, including AWS European Sovereign Cloud regions. Systems Manager Parameter Store reliably provides the most up to date information regarding Amazon ECS-optimized AMI availability and details such as AMI ID, image name, operating system, container agent version, source image name, and runtime version.
