Amazon ECS now automatically detects and repairs container instances with impaired agent connectivity

calendar_today August 24, 2026 person aws@amazon.com domain amazon-q

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) now automatically detects and repairs container instances, enabling customers to reduce undetected workload failures and improve application availability without manual intervention. With this launch, Amazon ECS continuously monitors agent connectivity across container instances. Infrastructure events such as EBS volume degradation, host thermal events, or network connectivity failures can sever the ECS agent’s connection to the ECS control plane.
