Amazon ECS Managed Daemons now support inter-task visibility and communication

Amazon ECS Managed Daemons Updates

Amazon ECS Managed Daemons now support inter-task visibility and communication, enabling customers to deploy tracing, profiling, and security agents that require access to application processes and shared IPC resources on ECS Managed Instances.

New Features

• pidMode: Controls whether the daemon can see all processes on the instance.
• ipcMode: Controls whether the daemon shares an IPC namespace with other containers on the instance.

What to do

• Register a daemon task definition with pidMode or ipcMode set to "shared".
• Create or update a daemon with associated ECS Managed Instances capacity providers in your clusters.

This feature is now available in all AWS Regions at no additional cost. For more details, refer to our documentation.
