Amazon ECS recommends utilizing the awsvpc community mode until you may have a particular want to make use of a distinct community mode.
- awsvpc — The duty is allotted its personal elastic community interface (ENI) and a major personal IPv4 deal with. This provides the duty the identical networking properties as Amazon EC2 cases.
- bridge — The duty makes use of Docker’s built-in digital community which runs inside every Amazon EC2 occasion internet hosting the duty.
- host — The duty bypasses Docker’s built-in digital community and maps container ports on to the ENI of the Amazon EC2 occasion internet hosting the duty. Because of this, you possibly can’t run a number of instantiations of the identical job on a single Amazon EC2 occasion when port mappings are used.
- none — The duty has no exterior community connectivity.
