A Handbook for Managing Containers on Amazon Web Services

Container management is a way to help you create, govern, and maintain your containers. There are tools and services available that can automate the creation, deployment, maintenance, scaling, and monitoring of application or system containers. In the context of AWS, container management is about understanding the services and options that can abstract aspects of managing cloud or on-prem infrastructure, security, scalability, and high availability of your services. This allows you to spend more time on application development and satisfying end users of your services and products. By understanding the proper way to manage containers in AWS, you can move your business ideas to sellable products and go to market rapidly. Amazon Elastic Container Registry service provides a way to store and manage container images. AWS offers multiple services in orchestration, including Amazon Elastic Container Service and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. These orchestration services can help you to determine where and when your containers need to run. AWS has multiple services to offer in the computing space, including ECS, which is based on AWS Fargate, Amazon Compute Cloud, and AWS App Runner. All these compute services of AWS enable you to start your containers with required system configurations and scale as per your processing needs. A container image is an immutable static file holding instructions required to create a container on a target infrastructure. Before pulling an image, you need a storage repository to push and manage the container image. An Amazon Elastic Container Registry can be a centralized repository store for you or your organizations team to push and manage container images from anywhere. Using the same service in a hybrid environment allows you to use the same set of tools for managing, scaling, and monitoring the containers. With AWS orchestration services, you can launch thousands of container workloads in an automated way. Opting for the Amazon ECS serverless compute option for container management will save your infrastructure team time and effort. With the Amazon EKS option to manage your Kubernetes-based container workloads, you could formulate a secure Kubernetes cluster by automatically applying security patches on the control plane. Compute services of AWS will enable you to launch application containers with required configurations and scale up or down as the processing demand increases and decreases. AWS App Runner is a service that can be used to manage the containers built for web applications and API workloads. AWS's compute services allow you to launch containers in a more secure, scalable, reliable, and highly available environment by reducing burdens on infra-ops teams. To further simplify security for cloud-native applications, consider a solution with advanced image scanning, policy-based admission control, and container runtime protection.
