Containers

Question 1

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)

Answer 1

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service that makes it easy to run, scale, and secure Docker containers. ECS allows you to launch and stop container-based applications and to discover and connect to service instances. With ECS, you can schedule the placement of containers across your cluster based on your resource needs and availability requirements.

Question 2

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

Answer 2

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes. EKS runs the Kubernetes management infrastructure for you across multiple AWS availability zones to eliminate a single point of failure.

Question 3

AWS Fargate

Answer 3

AWS Fargate is a compute engine for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) that allows you to run containers without having to manage the underlying EC2 instances. With Fargate, you no longer have to provision and scale clusters of virtual machines to run containers, you can just define the task and Fargate will launch the containers on the right resources.
