Today, AWS announces the launch of Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances, a new fully managed compute option designed to eliminate infrastructure management overhead while giving you access to the full capabilities of Amazon EC2. By offloading infrastructure operations to AWS, ECS Managed Instances helps you quickly launch and scale your workloads, while enhancing performance and reducing your total cost of ownership.

With ECS Managed Instances, you get the application performance you want and the simplicity you need. Simply define your task requirements such as the number of vCPUs, memory size, and CPU architecture, and Amazon ECS automatically provisions, configures and operates most optimal EC2 instances within your AWS account using AWS-controlled access. You can also specify desired instance types in Managed Instances Capacity Provider configuration, including GPU-accelerated, network-optimized, and burstable performance, to run your workloads on the instance families you prefer.

ECS Managed Instances dynamically scales EC2 instances to match your workload requirements and continuously optimizes task placement to reduce infrastructure costs. It also enhances your security posture through regular security patching initiated every 14 days. You can use EC2 event windows to schedule patching to occur within weekly maintenance windows, minimizing the risk of interruptions during critical hours.

ECS Managed Instances is now available in six AWS regions: US East (North Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). To get started with ECS Managed Instances, use the AWS Console, Amazon ECS MCP Server, or your favorite infrastructure-as-code tooling to enable it in a new or existing Amazon ECS cluster. You will be charged for the management of compute provisioned, in addition to your regular Amazon EC2 costs. To learn more about ECS Managed Instances, visit the feature page , documentation , and AWS News launch blog .

AWS ParallelCluster 3.14 is now generally available. This release includes P6e-GB200 and P6-B200 instance types, prioritized allocation strategies for optimized instance placement, and NICE DCV support for Amazon Linux 2023. Other features included in this release are support for chef-client log visibility in instance console inside the instance’s system log and Amazon Linux 2023 with kernel 6.12. To get started using P6e-GB200 instances with ParallelCluster, follow the tutorial in the ParallelCluster User Guide – Using Amazon EC2 P6e-GB200 UltraServers in AWS ParallelCluster .

For more details on the release, review the AWS ParallelCluster 3.14.0 release notes .

ParallelCluster is a fully-supported and maintained open-source cluster management tool that enables R&D customers and their IT administrators to operate high-performance computing (HPC) clusters on AWS. ParallelCluster is designed to automatically and securely provision cloud resources into elastically-scaling HPC clusters capable of running scientific and engineering workloads at scale on AWS.

ParallelCluster is available at no additional charge in the AWS Regions listed here , and you pay only for the AWS resources needed to run your applications. To learn more about launching HPC clusters on AWS, visit the ParallelCluster User Guide . To start using ParallelCluster, see the installation instructions for ParallelCluster UI and CLI .
