AWS recognized as Leader in 2024-25 Omdia Universe for Cloud Container Management & Services
Containers are crucial for modern application deployment, facilitating the creation of microservices-based architectures. They provide a standardized, lightweight approach to running applications and make efficient use of computing resources. According to Omdia, a container management solution is more than just providing a Kubernetes runtime; it is expected to offer layers on top of Kubernetes, such as an easy-to-use control panel, service mesh, security,
networking, role-based access control, container fleet management, support for stateful applications, and more.
AWS Container Services enable you to run highly performant, scalable, and secure container-based applications. AWS has the broadest and deepest capabilities making it easier to deploy, orchestrate, operate, and monitor containers while offloading many infrastructure management tasks and enabling you to focus on innovation.
