Improvements for ECS-Optimized Windows could include faster Windows patch cycles, a lighter AMI footprint for quicker boot times, better visibility into container-level performance metrics, and improved cost optimization guidance.
In terms of improvement, one issue is that Windows containers are heavier than Linux, which means Windows applications or containers require more resources and take longer to build up or start, and the images are heavy.
