AWS PrivateLink is a networking technology designed to enable access to AWS services in a highly available and scalable manner. It keeps all the network traffic within the AWS network. When you create AWS PrivateLink endpoints for Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), these service endpoints appear as elastic network […]

Infrastructure as code tools like AWS CloudFormation and HashiCorp Terraform enable teams to describe and automate provisioning of cloud infrastructure resources, including container-related resources like Amazon ECS services and Amazon EKS clusters. In this post, I cover why I believe infrastructure as code is especially important for containerized applications, how we use infrastructure as code with […]

Welcome to the AWS Containers Blog! We’re excited to start this channel to give builders a closer look under the hood of all things container-related at AWS. In the past, we’ve published on other popular blog channels at AWS such as the compute blog, the architecture blog, and open source blog. Now with the containers […]
