In today's "Learning in Public" series, I’m exploring the world of container management on AWS with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and AWS Fargate. 🚀
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS):
Amazon ECS is a highly scalable and high-performance container management system that supports Docker containers. Docker enables you to build, test, and deploy applications quickly. With ECS, you can use API calls to launch and stop Docker-enabled applications seamlessly.
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS):
Amazon EKS is a fully managed service to run Kubernetes on AWS. Kubernetes is an open-source software that helps you deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. AWS collaborates with the Kubernetes community, ensuring you can easily apply new features and functionalities to your applications managed by EKS.
AWS Fargate:
AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both ECS and EKS. With Fargate, you don't need to provision or manage servers. It manages your server infrastructure, allowing you to focus on innovating and developing your applications. Plus, you pay only for the resources required to run your containers.
