-Amazon ECS integrates with several AWS services, including ELB, AWS Cloud Map, and Amazon EC2. With this tight integration, Amazon ECS includes several features such as service load balancing, service discovery, task networking, and cluster auto scaling. Amazon ECS and the other AWS services that it integrates with all maintain service quotas and API rate limits to ensure consistent performance and utilization. These service quotas also prevent the accidental provisioning of more resources than needed and protect against malicious actions that might increase your bill.

-When you configure an Amazon ECS service to use a load balancer, the target group health checks must pass before the service is considered healthy. For performing these health checks, Amazon ECS invokes ELB API operations on your behalf. If you have a large number of services configured with load balancers in your account, you might experience slower service deployments because of potential throttling specifically for the `RegisterTarget`, `DeregisterTarget`, and `DescribeTargetHealth` ELB API operations. When throttling occurs, throttling errors occur in your Amazon ECS service event messages.
