Amazon ECS

Amazon Elastic Container Service

MANAGED CONTAINERS

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that enables you to easily run, stop, and manage Docker containers on a cluster of servers, either on AWS-managed infrastructure (Fargate) or on your own EC2 instances. It provides seamless scalability, integration with other AWS services, and simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications.

Replatform applications to Amazon ECS

Replatforming applications to Amazon ECS involves converting existing applications to run in Docker containers on AWS's managed container orchestration service, typically with minimal architectural changes. This process helps modernize applications by improving scalability, deployment efficiency, and resource utilization while avoiding a complete application redesign.

Docker Containers

Docker containers in AWS are lightweight, portable software packages that encapsulate an application and its dependencies, enabling consistent deployment across different computing environments. They can be easily managed and scaled using AWS services like Amazon ECS, EKS, and Fargate, providing developers with flexible and efficient cloud infrastructure for running applications.

AWS Fargate

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that allows you to run Docker containers without managing the underlying server infrastructure, automatically handling capacity provisioning, cluster management, and server maintenance. It enables developers to focus solely on designing and running applications by simply specifying container requirements like CPU, memory, networking, and IAM policies, while paying only for the resources their containers actually use.

Amazon EKS

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service is a fully managed Kubernetes service that simplifies running containerized applications by automatically managing the Kubernetes control plane across multiple AWS availability zones. It enables developers to deploy, manage, and scale Kubernetes applications on AWS with reduced operational complexity, offering seamless integration with AWS services and supporting both cloud and on-premises deployments.
