Description
Amazon ECS Service Connect simplifies service discovery, connectivity, and traffic observability for Amazon ECS. It helps you build applications faster by letting you focus on the application code and not on your networking infrastructure. You can use ECS Service Connect to define logical names for your service endpoints and use them in your client applications to connect to dependencies. ECS Service Connect helps send your traffic to healthy endpoints and provides rich traffic telemetry in the ECS console and in Amazon CloudWatch. Native ECS deployments are more robust with ECS Service Connect, as it supports automatic connection draining that helps your client applications switch to a new version of the service endpoint without encountering traffic errors.
With ECS Service Connect, you can:
• Set the way client applications connect to their dependencies in just one step
• Write and operate resilient distributed applications with logical naming
• Monitor and distribute traffic between ECS tasks without deploying and configuring load balancers
• Deploy services faster and deliver seamless integration of ECS microservices comprising an application
