Category Description

Platform-specific updates

Made these platform-specific updates:

Platform Update

Docker

Added a new platform branch, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) running on Amazon Linux 2, also known as ECS AL2.

This platform branch is the Amazon Linux 2 based version of the Multicontainer Docker platform branch that runs on Amazon Linux AMI. Like the previous Multicontainer Docker AL1 version, the new ECS AL2 platform branch uses Amazon ECS to coordinate a deployment of multiple Docker containers to an Amazon ECS cluster in an Elastic Beanstalk environment.

The new ECS AL2 platform branch supports all of the features in the previous Multicontainer Docker AL1 platform branch. You can deploy the same source code that's running on the Multicontainer Docker AL1 platform branch to the new ECS AL2 platform branch without making any changes.

For more information, see The Docker platform family in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
