ECS actually refers to EC2 Container Service (EC2 is what you were originally thinking of, which stands for Elastic Cloud Compute) :-)

Per AWS themselves, ECS is Elastic Container Service. The parent comment is almost correct. https://aws.amazon.com/ecs/

Actually, we're both correct :-)

It launched as EC2 Container Service, but changed the name at some point (which made sense once they added Fargate)
