This is the code repository for Docker on Amazon Web Services, published by Packt.
Build, deploy, and manage your container applications at scale
Over the last few years, Docker has been the gold standard for building and distributing container applications. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a leader in public cloud computing, and was the first to offer a managed container platform in the form of the Elastic Container Service (ECS).
This book covers the following exciting features: <First 5 What you'll learn points>
- Build, deploy, and operate Docker applications using AWS
- Solve key operational challenges, such as secrets management
- Exploit the powerful capabilities and tight integration of other AWS services
- Design and operate Docker applications running on ECS
- Deploy Docker applications quickly, consistently, and reliably using IaC
