What is the difference between Amazon ECS and Amazon EC2?

Question

I\'m just getting started on AWS EC2. I understand that EC2 is like a remote computer where I can do pretty much everything I want. Then I found out about ECS. I know it use

Answer 1

In simple words,ECS is a manager while EC2 instances are just like employees. All the employees (EC2) under this manager(ECS) can perform "Docker" tasks and the manager also understands "docker" pretty well. So,whenever you need "docker" resources, you show up to the Manager. Manager already has status from every employee(EC2) decides which one should perform the task.

Now, coming back to your question, a manager without an "employee" does not make sense.
