The learning session focuses on ECS deployment using infrastructure as code, presented by JP and Raja M. The session is part of a weekly series on Tuesdays, emphasizing interactive learning with Q&A opportunities. Recordings and presentations are available on a SharePoint site, with notifications sent beforehand.

JP discusses the business and technology background of ECS, while Raja details the ECS module developed within CTP and SRE. The industry faces challenges like unpredictability and the need for agility, pushing businesses towards infrastructure as code. *Businesses have to thrive in the middle of all these challenges and it is forged by code.* Dynamic scaling is crucial due to unpredictable load patterns, requiring technologies to evolve. ECS (Elastic Container Services) is an AWS proprietary technology that integrates with AWS services, offering advantages and challenges compared to EKS or native Kubernetes.

The ECS model, built on the grant work repository, allows creating Docker containers as logical units and supports EC2 instances or target deployments. It features auto-scaling, auto-healing, and canary deployments. The module supports a listener approach for centralized ECS management and integrates with AWS services. *We have implemented the listener approach because we have seen many of the products are you know they are downloading the quotes from the grant work and using locally.* Prerequisites for using the module include VPC, ELB security group, and EFS volume mounting. Configurations can be passed via YAML or JSON, with integration support for AWS CloudWatch, Splunk, Grafana, and Prometheus.
