Containers in AWS | For Absolute Beginners

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve certainly heard of containers and how popular they’ve become for doing software development. But what exactly are they, what are the benefits of using them, and what does that look like in AWS?

In this high-level overview, I describe all of those things. We’ll look at how containers differ from virtual machines, and then dig into the specific container-related services from AWS: Elastic Container Service (ECS), Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Fargate, and Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
