Amazon ECS-optimized Windows AMI versions

View the current and previous versions of the Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs and their corresponding versions of the Amazon ECS container agent, Docker, and the ecs-init package.

The Amazon ECS-optimized AMI metadata, including the AMI ID, for each variant can be retrieved programmatically. For more information, see Retrieving Amazon ECS-optimized Windows AMI metadata.

The following tabs display a list of Windows Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs versions. For details on referencing the Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter in an Amazon CloudFormation template, see Using the latest recommended Amazon ECS-optimized AMI in an Amazon CloudFormation template.

Important

To ensure that customers have the latest security updates by default, Amazon ECS maintains at least the last three Windows Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs. After releasing new Windows Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs, Amazon ECS makes the Windows Amazon ECS-optimized AMIs that are older private. If there is a private AMI that you need access to, let us know by filing a ticket with Cloud Support.

Windows Server 2016 does not support the latest Docker version, for example 25.x.x. Therefore the Windows Server 2016 Full AMIs will not receive security or bug patches to the Docker runtime. We recommend that you move to one of the following Windows platforms:

  • Windows Server 2022 Full

  • Windows Server 2022 Core

  • Windows Server 2019 Full

  • Windows Server 2019 Core
