📖 AWS re:Invent 2025 - Launch web applications in seconds with Amazon ECS Butterfly

In this video, Malcolm Featonby and Thomas demonstrate ECS Express Mode, a new feature that simplifies container orchestration on Amazon ECS. They show how Express Mode reduces configuration complexity from extensive CloudFormation templates to just three required parameters: container image, task execution role, and infrastructure role. Thomas provides a live demo of creating, updating, and deleting services through CLI and console, showcasing automatic provisioning of load balancers, security groups, auto-scaling policies, and canary deployments. The feature manages up to 25 services per load balancer, implements zero-downtime updates, and orchestrates resource lifecycle automatically while maintaining full ECS flexibility. Express Mode is available now at no additional charge across all AWS regions where ECS operates.

Absolutely, thank you, Malcolm. My name is Thomas. I've been in the container space in AWS for close to six years now across a few different services. First, an Elastic Beanstalk, then an App Runner, and this last year I had the great privilege of working on ECS Express Mode. So we're very excited to share with you today just how simple Express Mode makes container orchestration on ECS.

All right, so we're going to jump right in. One of the things that we wanted to be clear and just start off with is that this is ECS. We're talking about ECS Express, but ECS Express is a feature of ECS. And ECS is that product that, hopefully you all have been using the service. It'
