Elastic Container Service (ECS)

LocalStack Pro version provides a basic support for creating and deploying containerized apps using Amazon ECS. LocalStack offers the basic APIs locally, including creation of ECS task definitions, services, and tasks.

Note: More complex features like integration of application load balancers (ALBs) are currently not available. Nonetheless, they are being developed and will be available in the near future.

You can use the configuration option to specify the network the ECS containers are started in. If your ECS containers depend on LocalStack services, this should be the network the LocalStack container is located in.
