Amazon ECS-optimized Windows AMIs

AWS provides customers with the Amazon ECS Windows-optimized AMIs, which are preconfigured with the necessary components such as Docker Engine, ECS Agent, and Hyper-V vSwitch, to run Windows containers as tasks successfully.

  • Amazon ECS-optimized Windows Server 2022 Full AMI
  • Amazon ECS-optimized Windows Server 2022 Core AMI
  • Amazon ECS-optimized Windows Server 2019 Full AMI

  • Microsoft-Windows-Server-Gui-RSAT-Package
  • Microsoft-Windows-Cortana-PAL-Desktop-Package
