Announcing managed daemon support for Amazon ECS Managed Instances | Amazon Web Services

AWS announced managed daemon support for Amazon ECS Managed Instances.

Platform engineers can now centrally deploy and update operational agents, such as monitoring, logging, and tracing tools, without redeploying applications.

Managed daemons are designed to start before application tasks and drain last, improving reliability and lifecycle control on hosts.

The feature separates infrastructure agents from app workloads, reducing operational overhead and making host-level observability easier to maintain at scale.
