Understanding Containers in AWS

About this event

Containers have become a fundamental part of modern cloud-native application development and deployment. But how do you take a containerized application and run it on AWS? Join us for Containers in AWS, a technical learning session exploring how container technology works within the AWS ecosystem, the services available for running containers, and how to choose the right approach for your applications. We'll explore the fundamentals of containers, understand the differences between Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and AWS Fargate, and walk through the journey of deploying a containerized application on AWS. What You'll Learn • Container Fundamentals: Understand containerization, Docker images, and containers. • AWS Container Services: Explore Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Fargate, and Amazon ECR. • Choosing the Right Service: Understand the differences between managed container orchestration and Kubernetes-based approaches. • Deployment Workflow: Learn how container images move from development to running workloads on AWS. • Production Considerations: Get introduced to container security, monitoring, scaling, and cost optimization. Who Should Attend? • Students interested in cloud computing and AWS. • Beginners exploring Docker and containerization. • Aspiring Cloud, DevOps, and Platform Engineers. • Developers interested in deploying applications on AWS. • Anyone curious about modern cloud-native technologies. Prerequisites No prior experience with AWS container services is required. Basic familiarity with cloud computing or application development will be helpful, but everyone interested in learning is welcome. Why Attend? Gain a clearer understanding of the AWS container ecosystem, explore practical deployment concepts, and discover how containerization fits into modern cloud and DevOps workflows. Whether you're just getting started or looking to expand your cloud knowledge, this session will help you take the next step. Come curious, bring your questions, and let's explore containers on AWS together! We look forward to seeing you there.
