Our review
Pros	Select vCPU, memory, operating system, and network settings per instance. Choose yearly/monthly subscription, pay-per-use, or spot-instance billing.

Offers managed Kubernetes and databases including PostgreSQL and MySQL. Most services use per-second billing, subject to minimum duration.
Cons	ECS has no free plan; separate trial packages do not provide free ECS indefinitely. Rates vary by configuration and region rather than using one fixed ECS price.

Support channels listed are documentation and community.
