Amazon EC2 Container Service vs ContainerShip: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amazon EC2 Container Service as "Container management service that supports Docker containers". Amazon EC2 Container Service lets you launch and stop container-enabled applications with simple API calls, allows you to query the state of your cluster from a centralized service, and gives you access to many familiar Amazon EC2 features like security groups, EBS volumes and IAM roles. On the other hand, ContainerShip is detailed as "Multi-Cloud Docker Hosting Made Simple". ContainerShip is an open source hosting platform that makes it simple to build, scale and manage containerized web infrastructure. It supports applications with persistent data needs, has built in disaster recovery, and lets you move between clouds with a click.
Amazon EC2 Container Service and ContainerShip belong to "Containers as a Service" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Amazon EC2 Container Service are:

Amazon EC2 Container ServiceWe use the container service so that we can deploy our application services with Dockerfiles, so that we can test locally and deploy to AWS simply.
Additionally, the ability to scale containers and have them automatically restart in case of failure is very helpful to our operations.
Amazon EC2 Container ServiceWe use the EC2 registry for secure private container registration. When used in combination with I AM roles we can control customer access to repos on and individual basis.
Amazon EC2 Container ServiceAmazon EC2 is our primary application hosting solution. Most applications are not exposed on the internet and use a virtually private cloud to interact with each other.
Amazon EC2 Container ServiceWith a little forethought, ECS can handle a good portion of my development stack as though it were production. 12 Factor configuration makes this a breeze.
Amazon EC2 Container ServiceI don't like AWS BUT Pagely's VPS-3 makes it work. I still use FireHost for most things
