Containers

Run your containers in the most secure, performant, and scalable environment

AWS Container Services

Run your containers in the most secure, performant, and scalable environment. AWS offers services for orchestration, serverless compute, and image management, so you can run containerized applications however you choose to deploy them.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)

Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that helps you build, manage, and run containerized applications at any scale, without managing infrastructure.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

Amazon EKS is a managed Kubernetes service that lets teams of any size build, run, and scale production-ready applications across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.

Amazon EKS resources

AWS Fargate

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that runs containers with Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, so you never provision, patch, or scale servers yourself.

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR)

Amazon ECR is a fully managed container image registry that is secure, scalable, and reliable, so you can store and deploy images anywhere.

Common use cases for containers on AWS

Web apps, APIs & microservices

Build and deploy applications, APIs, and microservices with the speed of containers, decomposing monoliths into fault-tolerant services that scale independently to meet demand.
