Advanced container scheduling on Amazon ECS with Blox
summary
Describes Blox extensions to Amazon ECS that add a placement engine (filters on AMI, instance type, availability zone and policies such as spread, binpack, affinity) and an event-driven Blocks pipeline that sends ECS lifecycle events through CloudWatch Events to SQS so custom logic can act in real time. Demonstrates building Blocks from GitHub, launching a 3-node cluster, scaling to 6 nodes, killing nodes and showing automatic task relocation and recovery on ECS.
