Today, we are announcing AWS App2Container (A2C), a new command-line tool for modernizing .NET and Java applications into containerized applications. A2C analyzes and builds an inventory of all applications running in virtual machines on-premises or in the cloud. You simply select the application you want to containerize, and A2C packages the application artifact and run-time dependencies into container images, configures the network ports, and generates the ECS task and Kubernetes pod definitions.

A2C provisions, through CloudFormation, the cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines required to deploy the containerized .NET or Java application into production. With A2C, you can easily modernize your existing applications and standardize the deployment and operations through containers.
