Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) now supports mounting Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes to containers in the AWS GovCloud Regions. This capability makes it easier for you to deploy storage and data intensive applications such as ETL jobs, media transcoding, and ML inference workloads using serverless containers.
With EBS task attachment, customers can allow ECS to provision, manage and de-provision EBS Volumes with each new ECS Task launch. EBS task attachment will automatically wire these volumes to their containerized workloads. Customers can have ECS format an empty volume on their behalf or bring an EBS snapshot for ECS to use to create new volumes.
EBS task attachment is now available in the AWS GovCloud Regions for EC2, Fargate, and Managed Instances launch types. To learn more, see Use Amazon EBS volumes with Amazon ECS in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.
