working fine for me

#4Anyone have any insight about if this handles service discovery? It claims "cluster management" which usually means discovery, but there is no mention of it. Maybe Amazon is expecting you to handle that?

Same 404, I wonder if not at all CDN locations yet?

#7Security-wise, if I understand correctly, this is a very interesting offering.
1. The containers live on "your" VMs so you get the isolation of a virtual machine and do not worry about the other tenants' containers.
2. The VMs are part of a "private cloud", i.e., the internal network is not accessible by other tenants' VMs and containers.
#2 is what worried me the most in other container service offerings. It's easy to overlook protecting your internal ip when you manage VMs, it's even easier (and expected) when you deploy containers.

I was wondering this as well. It seems that they will provide for constraints around co-located containers (similar to pods in Kubernetes) but I'm not sure how discovery for containers scheduled across hosts is meant to take place.

From: https://aws.amazon.com/ecs/details/
...including the Docker repository and image, memory and CPU requirements, and how the containers are linked to each other. You can launch as many tasks as you want from a single task definition file that you can register with the service.
Very few details but it looks like container lifting across hosts. If so this is great news.
