I tried flight control but it was a bit buggy and rough. My docker image worked differently on their platform compared to other PAAS.

Lot of issues with slow AWS provision or missing APIs on AWS side so it would take hours to delete resources created by them.

Found this in their roadmap [0]:

> Managed ECS-EC2 clusters in preview

> AWS has a long standing issue with the ECS agent randomly disconnecting, resulting in orphaned EC2 instances which can cause traffic or deployment degradation.

> We have attempted to solve this a few ways in the past, but there were still critical edge cases falling through.

> So we bit the bullet, and developed a robust, full featured ECS cluster management solution to solve this problem once and for all.

> It's currently in private preview. To get early access before we roll it out to everyone, contact support.

I found elsewhere in the Flight control docs where they recommend ECs+EC2. While I'm not surprised to hear about issues with ECS+EC2, given the reported issues above I don't know if I'd recommend it in my docs. Fargate is a far better option for most use cases, at least in my experience. Unless you need specialized instance types, like GPU workloads.
