Amazon ECS now automatically detects and repairs container instances with impaired agent connectivity

News

Amazon ECS now automatically detects and repairs container instances with impaired agent connectivity, reducing undetected workload failures and improving application availability.

  • Continuously monitors agent connectivity across container instances for all compute options
  • Detects infrastructure events like EBS degradation, thermal events, and network failures
  • Introduces new AGENT_CONNECTIVITY health change event for Fargate, ECS Managed Instances, and EC2
  • Automatically drains tasks and launches replacement capacity for Fargate and Managed Instances
  • EC2 customers can use health events to drive custom instance replacement workflows
  • Available at no additional cost in all AWS Commercial and GovCloud regions

This capability eliminates manual intervention for detecting and recovering from agent connectivity issues across ECS infrastructure.
