Runtime Monitoring for Amazon ECS Fargate workloads - Amazon Elastic Container Service

Runtime Monitoring for Amazon ECS Fargate workloads

If you use EC2 container instances, you must manually configure Runtime Monitoring. For more information, see Runtime Monitoring for EC2 workloads on Amazon ECS.

You can have GuardDuty manage the security agent on your container instances. This option is only available for Fargate. This option ( GuardDuty agent management) is available in GuardDuty

When you use GuardDuty agent management, GuardDuty performs the following operations:

  • Creates VPC endpoints for GuardDuty for each VPC that hosts a cluster.

  • Retrieves, and installs the latest GuardDuty security agent as a sidecar container on all new standalone Fargate tasks, and new service deployments.

    A new service deployment happens the first time you launch a service, or when you update an existing service with the force new deployment option.
