# 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.
