Resource usage of the Consul Service Mesh on AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service). |

# Resource Usage |
||||
|
||||
We ran performance tests of Consul on ECS to determine the resource usage of |
||||
the sidecar containers Consul on ECS injects along with the ACL controller. |
||||
[The architecture page](/docs/ecs/architecture) describes each Consul on ECS |
||||
component in depth. |
||||
|
||||
We used the following procedure to measure resource usage: |
||||
|
||||
- Executed performance tests while deploying clusers of various sizes. We |
||||
ensured that deployment conditions stressed Consul on ESC components. |
||||
- After each performance test session, we recorded resource usage for each |
||||
component to determine worst-case scenario resource usage in a production |
||||
environment. |
||||
- We used Fargate's minimum allowed CPU (256 shares) and memory settings (512 |
||||
MB) on ECS during performance testing to demonstrate that Consul on ECS along |
||||
with application containers can run on the smallest ECS tasks. |
||||
|
||||
Here is the maximum resource usage we observed for each container: |
||||
|
||||
| Container | CPU | Memory | |
||||
| -------------- | --- | ------ | |
||||
| ACL Controller | 5% | 43 MB | |
||||
| Health Sync | 6% | 35 MB | |
||||
| Consul Client | 10% | 87 MB | |
||||
| Envoy | 18% | 55 MB | |
||||
|
||||
The containers added by Consul on ECS consume resources well below the minimum CPU and |
||||
memory limits for an ECS Task. Use the `memory` and `cpu` settings for the task definition |
||||
if additional resources are necessary for your application task. |
