Our own experience with ECS has been similarly negative. 
While this was 6 months ago, I am not aware of significant improvement.<p>In general, the whole thing feels rushed and duct taped together.
Networking model (inherited from Docker) doesn&#x27;t play nice with ELB.<p>- The built-in AWS tools for monitoring are not container aware.<p>- We&#x27;ve had multiple occurrences of the ECS daemon dying.<p>- Very little visibility into the progress of deploys. The API&#x2F;console will report something as &quot;running&quot;, when it in fact was still loading up.<p>If you watch their videos, they promise integration with Marathon, but if you look at the code, it&#x27;s in &quot;proof of concept&quot; stage.<p>At this stage, GCE is significantly ahead of AWS.
Out of the box, you get a top notch container story, logging and monitoring.
