About AWS ECS

Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) is AWS's native container orchestration service, running Docker containers on EC2 instances or AWS Fargate serverless compute without requiring Kubernetes expertise. ECS is used by teams deploying microservices, long-running workers, and scheduled batch tasks who need deep AWS integration with IAM, ALB, and CloudWatch without the operational overhead of Kubernetes. ECS service disruptions prevent container task launches and break blue-green deployments. Monitor live Amazon ECS status across all AWS regions and track ECS incident history here.

FAQ

Is AWS ECS down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS ECS status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS ECS status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS ECS outage?

If AWS ECS is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS ECS team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS ECS uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS ECS uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS ECS outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS ECS official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS ECS goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS ECS. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS ECS status changes.

How do I report a AWS ECS issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS ECS components?

Yes, where AWS ECS exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS ECS component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS ECS is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS ECS?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS ECS alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
