Amazon VPC Lattice now supports Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Amazon VPC Lattice now provides native integration with Amazon ECS, Amazon's fully managed container orchestration service that makes it easy for you to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications. This launch enables VPC Lattice to offer comprehensive support across all major AWS compute services, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS, and AWS Fargate. VPC Lattice is a managed application networking service that simplifies the process of connecting, securing, and monitoring applications across AWS compute services, allowing developers to focus on building applications that matter to their business while reducing time and resources spent on network setup and maintenance.
With native ECS integration, you can now directly associate your ECS services with VPC Lattice target groups, eliminating the need for an intermediate Application Load Balancer (ALB). This streamlined integration reduces cost, operational overhead, and complexity, while enabling you to leverage the complete feature sets of both ECS and VPC Lattice. Organizations with diverse compute infrastructure, such as a mix of Amazon EC2, Amazon EKS, AWS Lambda, and Amazon ECS workloads, can benefit from this launch by unifying service-to-service connectivity, security, and observability across all compute platforms.
This new feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon VPC Lattice is available.
