Mike Fiedler - DevOpsDays NYC 2018 Ignite
summary
Shows a concrete hack: use CloudWatch Events as an event bus and trigger Lambda functions to reconcile ECS state, calling the ECS API from Python to scale sidecar services to match cluster size. Replaces per-service sidecars that would multiply into hundreds of duplicate containers with a one-per-host sidecar model, costs very little, requires only small glue code, and reliably keeps sidecars aligned with autoscaling without reprovisioning hosts.
