AWS Containers

This lesson is part of AWS · All levels

Summary

Containers pack the application and its dependencies to run consistent on any machine. Unlike a virtual machine, containers share a host operating system so it's much lighter and faster to run. Dockers became the most common tool for building image containers, which were then run using orchestration services such as ECS or EKS.

Key points

Lightweight container due to shared host operating system kernel
Image brings applications and dependencies into one package
Dockers are used to build and run containers.
The orchestration regulates the distribution, scale, and health of the container
