On July 9, 2020, we introduced AWS Copilot, a new command line interface (CLI) to build, release, and operate production ready containerized applications on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and AWS Fargate. In this post, I walk you through the design tenets of the CLI, why we chose them, how they map to Copilot […]

Many organizations are or are considering migrating their applications and/or software to containers over traditional virtual machines given that they are incredibly fast, easy to maintain, have simpler deployment lifecycles, and are much easier to spin up and down. This can greatly reduce the cost and increase efficiency. For a secure container life cycle management, […]

This post was contributed by Yuling Zhou, Eduardo Lopez Biagi, and Paavan Mistry. Today, we introduced server-side encryption of ephemeral storage in AWS Fargate platform version 1.4. The ephemeral task storage is automatically encrypted with industry-standard AES-256 encryption algorithm using AWS Fargate-managed keys for the updated platform version. This feature requires no additional configuration from […]

Containers are a method of operating system virtualization that allow you to run an application and its dependencies in resource-isolated processes. Containers allow you to easily package an application’s code, configurations, and dependencies into easy-to-use building blocks that deliver environmental consistency, operational efficiency, developer productivity, and version control. Using Windows containers allows you to get […]

Welcome to Part 2 of this blog post series on how to use Amazon EFS with Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate. For reference, these are the blog posts in this series: Part 1: This blog provides the background about the need for this integration, its scope and provides a high-level view of the use cases […]

We have recently introduced a native integration between Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic File System (EFS). Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestrator service purpose-built for the cloud and integrated with other AWS services. ECS supports deploying containers (wrapped in so called tasks) on both Amazon EC2 and AWS Fargate. Amazon […]

Today, we launched a new platform version (1.4) for AWS Fargate, which bundles a number of new features and capabilities for our customers. You can read more about these features in this blog post. One of the changes we are introducing in platform version 1.4 is replacing Docker Engine with Containerd as Fargate’s container execution […]

AWS Fargate is a managed service to run containers. This is an AWS managed service that allows users to launch containers without having to worry about the infrastructure underneath. In another blog post, we explored in detail the new features and the changes we introduced with AWS Fargate platform version 1.4.0. Let’s step back and […]

AWS Fargate is a managed service to run containers. Fargate allows customers to use Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to launch applications without the burden of having to deal with the undifferentiated heavy lifting of maintaining, patching, scaling, securing, life-cycling the infrastructure. While Amazon EC2 abstracts away hypervisors and […]

In 2017, we introduced a serverless service to run containers at scale called AWS Fargate. Today, customers are launching tens of millions of containers on it every week. Customers keep telling us that the reason they love Fargate is because it removes a lot of the infrastructure undifferentiated heavy lifting. For example, they no longer […]
