Serverless containers at AWS re:Invent 2024

AWS re:Invent is the premier learning conference hosted by AWS for the global cloud computing community. This year the Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and AWS Fargate teams will share the latest trends, innovations, best practices, and tips to help you increase productivity, optimize costs, and enhance business agility. Join us in Las Vegas from December 2 through December 6, 2024.

Visit the AWS Serverless kiosk in the Expo Hall or the AWS Modern Applications and Open Source Zone to ask our experts questions about building modern applications on AWS, watch demonstrations, and meet with our open source teams. Stop by and say hello!

Sessions to attend

Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate sessions are part of the SVS – Serverless Compute & Containers track this year.
