Docker is a powerful platform that enables developers to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications with ease. Running Docker on Ubuntu, a stable and popular Linux distribution, provides a reliable environment for developers to deploy, scale, and maintain applications seamlessly on AWS.
The Docker CLI uses the Docker REST API to control or interact with the Docker daemon through scripting or direct CLI commands. Many other Docker applications use the underlying API and CLI.
The Docker daemon (dockerd) listens for Docker API requests and manages Docker objects such as images, containers, networks, and volumes. A daemon can also communicate with other daemons to manage Docker services.
Dockers portability and lightweight nature also make it easy to dynamically manage workloads, scaling up or tearing down applications and services as business needs dictate, in near real time - perfect for AWS's elastic infrastructure.
Docker Features
Lightweight Containers: Docker containers isolate applications with minimal resource usage, ensuring efficiency and speed on AWS EC2 instances.
Consistent Environment: Allows consistent environments across development, testing, and production, reducing compatibility issues across AWS regions and availability zones.
Efficient Resource Utilization: Unlike traditional virtual machines, Docker containers share the OS kernel, making them lightweight and fast - ideal for AWS cost optimization.
Simple Versioning and Rollback: Docker supports versioning for containers, making it easy to roll back to previous versions if needed.
Easy Scalability: Docker Swarm and Kubernetes integration enables easy scaling of applications to handle increased traffic or workload, integrating seamlessly with AWS Auto Scaling and EKS.
Broad Community and Library Support: Access a wide range of pre-configured Docker images on Docker Hub and AWS ECR, reducing setup time.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) Compatibility: Supports CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment, integrating with AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy.
Security and Isolation: Docker containers provide a secure, isolated environment, reducing risks associated with multi-tenant applications on AWS.
Multi-Platform Support: Run containers across various platforms, including AWS cloud, desktop, and server environments.
AWS Integration: Docker daemon (dockerd) manages Docker objects such as images, containers, networks, and volumes with seamless AWS service integration
AWS ECR Integration: Docker registry to store Docker images in Amazon Elastic Container Registry
REST API: Specifications that allow programs to communicate with the daemon and instruct operations
Command Line Interface (CLI): Client (the docker command) for easy container management
Namespaces: Provide a layer of isolation for secure multi-tenancy
Control Groups: Limit applications to a set of AWS EC2 resources
Union File Systems (UnionFS): Efficient storage management
Container Format (libcontainer): Standardized container runtime
Access to Docker Hub and AWS ECR: Public and private image repositories
Docker on Ubuntu offers a practical alternative to traditional virtual machine deployments on AWS, competing with other container solutions like Podman, LXC/LXD, and rkt while leveraging AWS's robust infrastructure.

You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run. This listing prices Docker Community Engine on Ubuntu 24.04 across many EC2 instance sizes, from small general-purpose types like t2.nano and t3.micro up to large memory, compute, storage, and GPU types like x1e.32xlarge, u-24tb1.metal, and p3dn.24xlarge. Each instance size carries its own hourly software rate. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators bill at higher hourly rates. You pick the instance that fits your workload, and charges accrue only while it runs. AWS infrastructure costs are separate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing include, and what is not covered by the software rate?
You pay the software rate per hour each instance runs. This covers the preinstalled Docker Community Engine on Ubuntu 24.04 and vendor support. The underlying EC2 compute, storage, and network charges from AWS are billed separately. The software rate depends on the instance type you select.
Am I charged the software rate when my instance is stopped or paused?
The software rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the software licence bills per hour the instance actually runs.
Why do larger instance types cost more per hour than smaller ones?
Each instance type carries its own hourly software rate. Types with more CPU, memory, storage, or GPU accelerators bill at higher hourly rates. Smaller types like t2.nano or t3.micro bill at lower rates. You pick the size that fits your workload and pay only while it runs.
