Deploying a Windows Container Instance

In this chapter, we’ll learn from the inside out how an ECS Windows container instance works. We will understand the available ECS-optimized AMI for Windows and how the ECS container agent plays a vital role between the container instance and the ECS control plane. Then, we will learn about the four pillars that need to be considered when right-sizing a Windows container instance. Finally, we will use Terraform to deploy an Auto Scaling group to launch Windows container instances in an ECS cluster.

We are going to cover the following main topics:

  • Amazon ECS-optimized Windows AMIs
  • Amazon ECS agent
  • Right-sizing a Windows container instance
  • Deploying a Windows container instance with Terraform
