Ask HN: Are you using AWS ECS in production?

Don't use it. It's crapware. We have 100+ hosts. Problems include the scheduler assigning tasks to nodes that report their ecs agent as crashed. Just use kubernetes it's going to be more stable and have more support. I wish execs didn't take aws seriously when they promised features 6 months down the line.

I'd love to hear more about this problem and see if we can get to a root cause and help you resolve it, because it does not sound like standard ECS behavior. Please email [email protected] and I can connect you to the right people to figure out what is going on.

ECS doesn't stop trying to schedule tasks ever. So you can ddos and crash your entire cluster if one if your containers fails on startup.

Issue is still open on GitHub, you can easily blow through your entire iops budget and have cpu pegged at 95% iowait.
