I talked about some of this in another post comparing ECS to Joyents Triton.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackshare.io&#x2F;convox&#x2F;amazon-ecs-vs-joyent-triton" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackshare.io&#x2F;convox&#x2F;amazon-ecs-vs-joyent-triton</a><p>Triton does an incredibly good job of hiding servers.<p>There is one big flaw with this approach which is the entire tool set needs to be rewritten for the container only universe.<p>How do you debug containers without access to a host OS?<p>How do you isolate neighbors without a machine boundary somewhere?<p>Boxes, instances and VMs are never going away. It&#x27;s simply a question of who&#x27;s responsibility it is to run them.
