With Docker it became easy to start applications locally without installing any dependencies. Even running a local cluster is not a big thing anymore. AWS on the other side offers with ECS a managed container service that states to schedule containers based on resource needs, isolation policies, and availability requirements.

Philipp shows how an ECS cluster and your containerized applications can automatically be deployed and scaled. He also shares his experiences and explains which features are still missing.
