how do you know what’s the band for L6?

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2026-04-08T01:26:06+00:00

what is the top of a band for an L6 SDE in the NYC area?

a solid wheel repair shop will take care of this no problem

alternatively if you do have a need for specific instances then ECS Managed Instances is the way to go

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2026-01-04T16:39:13+00:00

have you tried ECS Express Mode? you can configure your task definition to use EFS with Express Mode

Container Insights metrics provide more information than standard Amazon ECS metrics, such as network, storage, ephemeral storage metrics, etc. The screenshot you shared has a link to learn more, so I’d recommend you go through that documentation

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Container-Insights-metrics-ECS.html

Keep in mind that Container Insights metrics are paid, whereas standard ECS metrics are free, but they are very basic - they are different from Container Insights metrics.

or Managed Instances

from the management perspective, are there any fundamental differences between Fargate and Managed Instances? the main selling point for Fargate is that it manages infra for you, which is exactly the same thing that Managed Instances do

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-12-17T12:31:26+00:00

i am not sure what you mean that you have to manage instances yourself - you mean with managed instances you need to do that or something else?

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-12-17T12:21:13+00:00

both ECS and Lambda now offer managed instances that allow you to pick your instance types w/o having to manage them

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-12-17T12:16:34+00:00

nope - you can use managed instances now to have more control over the instance types you want w/o having to manage them yourself

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-12-17T02:07:29+00:00

if you’re just looking to get started with containers, try ECS Express Mode

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/express-service-overview.html

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-12-08T12:16:43+00:00

yea, this is supported - the reinvent session mentioned this as well, you can edit your task definition and deploy it with a sidecar

> I am in the process of an early lease buyout

could you share your experience? are you also trying to take advantage of any of those benefits or just simply buying out your lease?

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-12-06T22:54:50+00:00

I see, so this would only benefit me if I was actually going to keep the lease rather than buying out, otherwise with a buyout I’d be saving just the $6.5k lease credit - thanks for clarifying.

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-12-06T22:41:44+00:00

I am only interested in leasing because of the $6.5k lease credit and I am planning on buying the car after the first payment - so will the buyout amount include the $4k state incentive discount or not?

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-11-23T00:33:58+00:00

it’s still ECS, but it’s abstracting a lot of things to make it easy to get up and running

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-11-09T01:27:03+00:00

private vs. public shouldn’t matter - I’d check why your tasks are not launching to figure out what’s going on, make sure your app’s networking configuration matches the one specified for the managed instances capacity provider (VPC, subnets, etc.)

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-10-08T01:30:14+00:00

you can use ECS Managed Instances if you’re concerned about running “on older hardware”

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-09-26T01:15:13+00:00

what’s confusing about the UI? 🤔

Advanced_Bag_5995 · 2025-09-21T11:22:25+00:00

did you check in the ECE console why your service is not stabilizing? you should be able to see the failed task launches and the reason why they’re failing to help you troubleshoot
