I am trying to develop a Spring Cloud microservice and need to deploy in AWS cloud. I am new to Spring Cloud and AWS. I would like to open a EC2 instance and like to deploy using Elastic Beanstalk environment wizard.
When I am exploring how to create EC instance and configuration, I found that the documentation explaining EC2 and EC2 container service. Here I need to deploy my service in Java environment and Tomcat as service structure. So I am confused about EC2 and EC2 container service. Which one is suitable for my criteria and requirement? EC2 or Ec2 container service for deploying my service?
EC2 container service is to be used if you want to run container systems like Docker. Are you comfortable using Docker containers?
If you want to use standard virtual machine; use EC2 instance. Your requirement of deploying microservice can be achieved using any of EC2 instance or EC2 container service. What is important is your comfort level.

I am trying to setup AWS Nitro Enclave with ECS using AWS Cloudformation but I am struggling with assigning a launch template to an ECS service.
As far as I know, we can specify a launchType with the value of EC2 while creating the ECS Service but there is no way to manipulate the launch parameters.
Any help with examples will be appreciated.
The Nitro Enclave is part of the EC2 server. An ECS service is just a docker container running on the EC2 server. The EC2 server has to already be up and running (with things like Nitro Enclave already configured) before the ECS service is started on the server. The launchType parameter of the ECS Service just specifies if it should run on Fargate or EC2.
You can't configure your cluster's EC2 servers through an ECS service configuration. You would configure the EC2 servers in the ECS cluster through the cluster's Capacity Provider configuration. Specifically, since you are using EC2 instead of Fargate, you would need to configure the capacity provider with an EC2 auto-scaling group which is configured with an EC2 launch template that handles the Nitro Enclave setup.
To be clear, I've never heard of anyone using Nitro Enclaves with ECS, and I don't think you can actually run ECS services inside the Nitro Enclave. At most you could have ECS services running on the same server that also has a Nitro Enclave running some other process.
I have a ASP.NET Core Web API planning to deploy in AWS, I don't have enough background in AWS what is the good package to subscribe in AWS?
My option is Amazon EC2 or Cloud Computing or there is other package for Web API? And my other concern is I also have files to upload by the client need at least of 1 or 2 TB of cloud storage. Can I connect the Cloud Storage services of Amazon to Amazon EC2. I really don't how to start.
You could look at Elastic Beanstalk (EB) as explained in Creating and deploying .NET applications on Elastic Beanstalk. EB is AWS Platform as a Service (Paas) offering which allows you to deploy your code, without managing much or any of EC2 instances, load balancers, security groups and more.
Alternatively, if you can run your app in a docker container, maybe it would be easier to deploy it using ECS Fargate. EB can also be used to deploy dockerized applications.
For storage you can use EFS if you require filesystem-like storage that can be shared across multiple instances, containers or lambda functions.
I am trying to develop a Spring Cloud microservice and deploying into AWS cloud using Elastic Beanstalk. When I am searching deployment options I found that deployment environment of Beanstalk. I have a little confusion here. Can I deploy my microservice using Elastic Beanstalk without launching EC2 machine?
Here I am approaching only to Elastic Beanstalk service. Deploying microservice using Elastic Beanstalk without launching EC2 is possible?
I am a beginner in the AWS world.
You can use Elastic Beanstalk to deploy your microservices. When you use Elastic Beanstalk, in the backend Elastic Beanstalk creates the required EC2 instances and Load balancers to run and deploy your application. Hence you don't need to create an EC2 instance. I would recommend you to follow the tutorial here, which walks you through to launch a sample Multi Docker application.
Also, I would recommend you to research ECS/Fargate service which has more capabilities for hosting a Microservices application.
I am trying to develop a spring cloud micro services. And I planned to deploy into AWS cloud. When I reading AWS resources I found that ECS providing configuration less environment for deploying microservices other than EC2. My doubt is that
Can I choose ECS resource for my complete services deployment without configurations?
For creating ECS service, is EC2 instance mandatory? Can I use ECS only in my account without creating EC2 VM? I need to know about ECS is alternative for EC2?
ECS is a service which offers clustering of vm for docker container, manages container lifecycle.
1) Yes. You can use ECS for your service deployment and it needs some basic configuration which will be one time.
2) No. To run docker container you need EC2 instance without that its not possible to run. EC2 instance are managed by ECS so you only need to provide some config like region,security group etc.
For complete config and deployment refer below link.

Have been running Docker with Elastic Beanstalk to deploy a relatively simple app, and it has been working great. Now with ECS on the horizon, I am interested to know what the differences are between the two services, and why one might use one over the other?
Amazon's documentation says the following:
Q: How is Amazon ECS different from AWS Elastic Beanstalk?
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an application management platform that helps customers easily deploy and scale web applications and services. It keeps the provisioning of building blocks (e.g., EC2, RDS, Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch), deployment of applications, and health monitoring abstracted from the user so they can just focus on writing code. You simply specify which container images are to be deployed, the CPU and memory requirements, the port mappings, and the container links. Elastic Beanstalk will automatically handle all the details such as provisioning an Amazon ECS cluster, balancing load, auto-scaling, monitoring, and placing your containers across your cluster.
Elastic Beanstalk is ideal if you want to leverage the benefits of containers but just want the simplicity of deploying applications from development to production by uploading a container image. You can work with Amazon ECS directly if you want more fine-grained control for custom application architectures.
