the task definition](/docs/ecs/manual/install).

## Service Mesh
Using Consul on AWS ECS enables you to add your ECS tasks to the service mesh and
take advantage of features such as zero-trust-security, intentions, observability,
traffic policy, and more.

## Architecture
![Consul on ECS Architecture](/img/consul-ecs-arch.png)
Consul on ECS follows an [architecture](/docs/internals/architecture) similar to other platforms, but each ECS task is a
Consul node. An ECS task runs the user application container(s), as well as a Consul client container for control plane
communication and an [Envoy](https://envoyproxy.io/) sidecar proxy container to faciliate data plane communication for
[Consul Connect](/docs/connect).
For a detailed architecture overview, see the [Architecture](/docs/ecs/architecture) page.

See the [Requirements](/docs/ecs/requirements) and then choose whether to [install with Terraform](/docs/ecs/terraform/install) or [install without Terraform](/docs/ecs/manual/install)
when you're ready to install Consul on an existing ECS cluster and add tasks to the service mesh.
