Tag: EC2 Container Service

During my trip to the AWS Loft earlier this month, I spoke to 8 startups for the AWS Podcast.  Almost all of them told me that they are making use of Docker on AWS, either directly or via Amazon EC2 Container Service. They love the flexibility that it gives them, and appreciate the ease with […]

The Amazon EC2 Container Service helps you to build, run, and scale Docker-based applications. As I noted in an earlier post (EC2 Container Service – Latest Features, Customer Successes, and More), you will benefit from easy cluster management, high performance, flexible scheduling, extensibility, portability, and AWS integration while running in an AWS-powered environment that is […]

AWS OpsWorks makes it easy for you to deploy applications of all shapes and sizes. It provides you with an integrated management experience that spans the entire application lifecycle including resource provisioning, EBS volume setup, configuration management, application deployment, monitoring, and access control (read my introductory post, AWS OpsWorks – Flexible Application Management in the […]

We launched Amazon EC2 Container Service last fall at AWS re:Invent and made it available in production form this past April. We’ve made a lot of enhancements since then and I thought it would be a good time to recap them for you. AWS customers are already making good use of EC2 Container Service and […]

Amazon EC2 Container Service is a highly scalable container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. We launched the preview at AWS re:Invent and have been receiving a lot of great feedback ever since. We built Amazon […]

Amazon EC2 Container Service  (ECS) is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run distributed applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. My colleague Chris Barclay sent a guest post to spread the word about two additions to the service. As Chris explains […]

We announced the Amazon Amazon EC2 Container Service at AWS re:Invent and invited you to join the preview. Since that time, we’ve seen a lot of interest and a correspondingly high signup rate for the preview. With the year winding down, I thought it would be fun to spend a morning putting the service through […]

Earlier this year I wrote about container computing and enumerated some of the benefits that you get when you use it as the basis for a distributed application platform: consistency &amp fidelity, development efficiency, and operational efficiency. Because containers are lighter in weight and have less memory and computational overhead than virtual machines, they make […]
