Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the differences between ECS-optimized Windows AMIs and how to bootstrap an Amazon ECS agent; then, we delved into the four pillars to right-size a Windows container instance. Finally, we deployed an ECS Windows container instance and its requirements, such as a security group, a Launch template, and Auto Scaling group.
In Chapter 5, Deploying an EC2 Windows-Based Task, we will dive deep into ECS task definitions, gMSA support, and persistent storage. Then, we will deploy a Windows task using Terraform.
