Another round of exciting updates for you all! We're now working on blue/green deployments for ECS based services, in addition to the ongoing major pipelines upgrade still in progress that will unlock infinite flexibility for you.
Managed ECS-EC2 clusters now enabled for everyone
AWS has a long standing issue with the ECS agent randomly disconnecting, resulting in orphaned EC2 instances which can cause traffic or deployment degradation.
We have attempted to solve this a few ways in the past, but there were still critical edge cases falling through.
So we bit the bullet, and developed a robust, full featured ECS cluster management solution to solve this problem once and for all.
It's enabled for everyone and working very well
New "Server instances below minimum" notification
Enabled by default for all. This will notify you if your running server instances go below your configured "minimum instances" count.
If you receive this, it means one or more of your servers likely crashed (it will be auto replaced by ECS).
