Amazon ECS Express Mode is now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Express Mode is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. ECS Express Mode empowers developers to rapidly launch containerized applications, including web applications and APIs, making it easy to orchestrate and manage cloud architecture while maintaining full control over infrastructure resources.

Every Express Mode service automatically receives an AWS-provided domain name, making your application immediately accessible without additional configuration. Applications using ECS Express Mode incorporate AWS operational best practices, serve either public or private HTTPS requests, and scale in response to traffic patterns. ECS Express Mode automatically consolidates up to 25 services behind a single Application Load Balancer, using intelligent rule-based routing to maintain isolation between services. All resources provisioned by ECS Express Mode remain fully accessible in your account, ensuring you never sacrifice control or flexibility. As your application requirements evolve, you can directly access and modify any infrastructure resource, leveraging the complete feature set of Amazon ECS and related services without disruption to your running applications.

To get started, provide your container image and ECS Express Mode deploys your application and auto-generates a URL. ECS Express Mode is available at no additional charge, you pay only for the AWS resources created to run your application. To deploy, use the Amazon ECS Console, SDK, CLI, CloudFormation, CDK, and Terraform. For more information, see the AWS News blog, or the documentation.
