How To Setup ECS?

ECS is a concept that is related to Cloud Computing. And while we are discussing Cloud Computing, the presence of AWS will be inevitable. Amazon Web Service is a popular Cloud Computing service. Cloud Computing service means, all the necessary work can be done in the cloud. Suppose in a device, there is less memory or configuration present to handle an application. So, users can install that application in the cloud & it will work like on the physical device. This process will not cause an issue to the device, but the application can be run. ECS is one type of similar platform by Amazon Web Service.

Elastic Container Service or ECS is an online or cloud container developed by AWS. The container is a special component that can work with different applications and gives an output. In a big project, such containers are needed to handle different applications. ECS is one type of container that works with Docker. Docker creates containers in the physical machines. But the ECS will work with Docker & create such containers in the web or cloud. In this manner, the need to install applications along with the container in the physical machine reduces. In this article, we will discuss the process to set up ECS in AWS.

Process To Setup ECS

Step 1: Users first need to login into their AWS account & search for the ECS. Users will get a result for ECS & click on it. It will redirect to the page.

Step 2: On the next page, a cluster should be created. There will be two buttons present. Among those buttons, users click on the Get Started Button.

Step 3: Now, in the next window, users will find different types of containers present. Users click on the Sample-App container category & the next window will be processed automatically.

Step 4: Now, the Task Definition window will open. The default name will already be provided there. Users can rename the default name by clicking on the Edit option in the corner. But users should only make changes to the Name field. All other information should be intact and present there. Otherwise, there will be some errors while creating the ECS. And then click on the Next button.

Step 5: In the next window, users will get the fields for defining the Service. There will be the default name of the service present. If needed, users can change the default name by clicking on the Edit button. But users should not make any changes to the other fields. After that, users click on the Next button & move ahead.

Step 6: At the end, users have to provide the name of the Cluster. After providing the name, click on the Next button to finish the task.

Step 7: The process of completion will take some time to complete. Users need to wait till the process is completed.

Step 8: After completion of the process, it will redirect the Cluster Home page from where the journey started. Users will find their newly created ECS cluster is now present.

Hence, we have successfully set up the ECS cluster in Amazon Web Service.
