A comparison of Kubernetes to Amazon ECS highlights that Amazon ECS provides management of what type of resources?

Memory
Storage
Hardware
Networking

The correct answer is: Hardware

Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) is a container orchestration service that provides management primarily for hardware resources, specifically those related to the underlying compute instances where containers run. It simplifies the deployment and scaling of applications by managing the allocation of these resources on virtual machines in the AWS cloud. In ECS, users define their containerized applications in terms of tasks and services. The service takes care of the provisioning of the EC2 instances or utilizing AWS Fargate for serverless compute. This enables ECS to effectively manage the computational power (CPU), memory, and networking resources necessary for running containers. While ECS does provide, in conjunction with other AWS services, some level of management around memory, storage, and networking, its core function within the context of resource management relates primarily to the hardware infrastructure. It abstracts the complexities of hardware management from users while allowing them to focus on deploying and managing their applications efficiently.
