AWS Elastic Container Service Service Delivery Program
AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) is a fully managed container orchestration service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that makes it simple to run, scale, and secure Docker containers in production. It supports both long-running applications and batch jobs, offering deep integration with the AWS ecosystem, predictable performance, and operational simplicity.
What we bring
At Levi9, we are proud participants in the AWS ECS Service Delivery Program, delivering fully certified expertise in designing, building, migrating, and optimizing container-based workloads on ECS. Whether you are just beginning your container journey or already running production services, we help you realize the benefits of containerization without the operational concern.
We support organizations in:
- Container adoption & modernisation: Migrating legacy monolithic applications into container-based microservices running on ECS.
- Greenfield container development: Building new services in containers from the ground up, following 12-factor principles and best practices for scalability, resilience, and security.t
- CI/CD & DevOps pipelines: Integrating ECS deployment into automated delivery pipelines, supporting blue/green, canary, rolling updates, and infrastructure as code.
- Cost optimisation & autoscaling: Tuning ECS cluster sizing, task placement, and autoscaling rules to maximise efficiency.
- Security & compliance: Applying container security best practices, IAM roles, network controls, secrets management, and compliance checks.
- Observability & monitoring: Implementing monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting on ECS workloads.
Key Features & Benefits of AWS ECS with Levi9
AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications at scale. It provides a managed, reliable platform that integrates seamlessly with the AWS ecosystem, allowing you to focus on building and running your applications rather than maintaining the infrastructure.
ECS offers a fully managed orchestration layer where AWS takes care of provisioning, scheduling, and scaling containers. This means teams can run applications with predictable performance and minimal operational overhead.
By integrating deeply with services like AWS Fargate, CloudWatch, IAM, and Elastic Load Balancing, ECS delivers an end-to-end environment for running secure, scalable, and cost-efficient workloads.
The service supports both EC2-based and serverless (Fargate) deployment models, giving flexibility to balance control, performance, and cost according to project needs. It automatically adjusts resources to match demand, ensuring applications stay responsive while optimizing costs through intelligent task placement and autoscaling.
Security and compliance are built into the core of ECS. Each task can assume dedicated IAM roles and operate within isolated network environments, ensuring that your containers are protected by fine-grained access control and encryption standards.
ECS also improves operational visibility with detailed monitoring and logging through CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray. This gives teams clear insights into performance, cost, and resource utilization, helping to optimize applications over time.
Ultimately, AWS ECS provides a stable and production-ready foundation for running containerized workloads – combining operational simplicity with enterprise-grade scalability, security, and cost efficiency.
