Hi there! I just wanted to drop by and express my sincere gratitude for this incredibly informative video comparing AWS EC2, ECS, and Lambda. I've exploring different options for deploying applications on AWS and this video has been an absolute gem! The clear and concise explanations, along with the visual aids, made it so much easier for me to understand the key differences and use cases of each service. I truly appreciate the effort and expertise that went into creating this content. Moreover, the neutral and unbiased approach taken in the video allowed me to make an informed decision based on my specific requirements. It's refreshing to find content that presents the pros and cons objectively, without pushing any particular agenda. Please keep up the fantastic work! Your dedication to providing valuable insights in such a professional and respectful manner is truly commendable. I look forward to exploring more of your videos and benefiting from your expertise. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping the community make informed decisions. Wishing you continued success on your KZfaq journey!

Such a clear explanation of the differences. Many thanks. If I could be picky EC2 stands for "Elastic Compute Cloud" (not Cloud Compute) and ECS stands for "Elastic Container Service" (not Store) and the lambda symbol is drawn the other way around.

If we dont want to use ECS service of AWS then how to integrate docker with ec2 instances? i hope my question makes sense

@TORMENTUMM Ай бұрын

Is there a limit of storage in lambda? My application needs to download stuff and later share it with users. It would be better lambda for this or go directly for ecs? Lambda seems easier to deploy but I dont know if there are storage limits.

Thanks for the video! But sorry, I don't understand a detail: Which is the purpose of that layer between the Load Balancer and a Single Instance in the EC2 model?

@Overthought1 11 ай бұрын

That layer is called a "target group" and it's specific to AWS load balancers. It's more of an implementation detail. I'm surprised he included it on the diagram.

Question in ECS, aren't you still somewhat be responsible for the EC2 security (patches, updates, and all that) are in the Cluster or the 'image'?

@BeABetterDev 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there, You would only be responsible for the EC2 machine if you decide to go with the EC2 configuration option in ECS. If however you go with the Fargate launch mode (aka 'serverless'), the machines are handled completely by AWS. Hope this helps.

Hi Felipe, is the traffic steady state as in very consistent? In that case I would pick EC2 or ECS. If its bursty and you are OK with occasional high latency lambda calls due to cold start, then Lambda is a good choice. Hope this helps.
