Containers
The Problem
Static

• Different application stacks Web
fronted
• Different hardware deployment Background
environments workers
• How to run all applications User DB
across different environments?

What is a container?
• Containers share a machine's OS kernel.
• They start instantly and use less compute and RAM.
• Images are constructed from file system layers and share common files. This minimizes
disk usage and image downloads are much faster.

Docker
Client DOCKER_HOST Registry
docker build Docker daemon
Docker daemon
docker pull Containers Images
Docker client
docker run
• Lightweight container virtualization platform.
• Tools to manage and deploy your applications.
• Licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
• Built by Docker, Inc.

Container orchestration
At first there was
Amazon EC2
15
Then Docker!
Containers
EC2 Instance
Customers started containerizing applications
within EC2 instances
16
Customers needed an easier way to manage large clusters of
instances and containers

AWS Fargate
Without Fargate, you end up managing more than just containers
EC2 Instance
Docker ECS
OS

33
AWS Fargate
- Patching and Upgrading OS, agents, etc.
- Scaling the instance fleet for optimal utilization
34
Amazon Elastic Container Service
AWS Fargate
run serverless containers
35
AWS Fargate
Managed by AWS
No EC2 Instances to provision, scale or manage
Elastic
Scale up & down seamlessly. Pay only for what you use
Your
containerized
applications
Integrated
with the AWS ecosystem: VPC Networking, Elastic Load
Balancing, IAM Permissions, CloudWatch and more
36
Networking
VPC INTEGRATION
172.31.0.0/16
• AWS VPC Networking Mode – each task gets
its own interface
Subnet
172.31.1.0/24
• All Fargate Tasks run in customer VPC and
subnets
Internet
ENI Fargate
Public / Private IP Task
• Configure security groups to control inbound208.57.73.13 / 172.31.1.164
& outbound traffic
Other Entities in VPC
• Public IP support
EC2 LB DB etc.
• Spread your application across subnets in
multiple Availability Zones (AZs) for
resiliency
