Hi Daniel, I have mostly learned about AWS by watching your videos, they are so well explained!! Can you also make a tutorial on cloud map and service discovery please? :)

Muy buen video!!! Consulta, el cluster sirve también de balanceador o se debe poder un load balancer?. Gracias!!

[kevindezoysa]

Thank you and appreciate the clear explanation of the concepts. Could someone please clarify if ECS service offers redundancy in the event of an EC2 instance failure by relocating all active tasks to a healthy EC2 instance, provided there is enough capacity to accommodate the new tasks? If so, could someone provide a link to AWS resources for further information?"
