# Amazon ECS Managed Daemons Deployments Are Now Fully Visible in the Console!

Hi everyone, it's me, Shiichan! Today I've got news that makes the AWS console noticeably nicer to use.

## What was announced?

This comes from AWS What's New. Amazon ECS added a new deployment observability feature for ECS Managed Daemons in the AWS Management Console.

## The story so far

Until now, there doesn't seem to have been a single place in the console to see how an ECS Managed Daemons deployment was progressing. This announcement introduces a consolidated deployment view that brings that information together.

## What changes

Just opening the console now gives you a much clearer picture of what's happening in a deployment:

- Lifecycle timeline: timestamps for each step and the total duration, including the rollback path if one occurred
- Per-capacity-provider progress bars: completed, in-progress, and remaining instance counts, plus draining and replaced instances at a glance
- Monitoring panel: real-time status for the deployment circuit breaker, deployment alarm, and container health check state, with live CloudWatch alarm details
- Failure stop reasons: shown alongside links to the relevant task, logs, and troubleshooting guide
- Target and source revisions, instance counts, drain percentage, and bake time

## Dive Deep

This feature is console-only and comes at no additional cost. It's available in every AWS Commercial Region, so you can start using it right away regardless of where you run your workloads.

## Wrap-up

- Amazon ECS Managed Daemons deployments now have a consolidated observability view in the console.
- Timeline, progress bars, a monitoring panel, and failure reasons are all visible in one screen.
- It's console-only, available in every AWS Commercial Region, and free.
- A small but genuinely useful update for anyone running ECS Managed Daemons in production!
