Welcome to the Containers On AWS Workshop

Hello and welcome to the Containers On AWS Workshop! Please, read the instructions bellow carefully.

1. It's all about containers!

We will walk you through the very basics of containers: from installing and configuring Docker, running containers locally, deploying them on AWS container services like Elastic Container Services (ECS), till implementing a Continuous Delivery pipeline for your container and help you configure Auto Scaling for your containerized app.

2. If you are using a Windows machine

We strongly recommend you spinning up a Cloud9 environment. Optionally, you can spin up an EC2 instance with Amazon Linux.

If you choose Cloud9, all you have to do is jump to 01-EnvironmentSetup.

If you want to run on a EC2 instance, the following links will guide you through the instance creation process and how to access it:

• Creating a Linux EC2 instance
• Accessing a Linux EC2 instance from a Windows machine

3. We strongly recommend you running this workshop in the following order:

• 1. Environment Setup
• 2. Creating Your Docker Image
• 3. Deploying An ECS Cluster
• 4. Deploying An Application with AWS Fargate
• 5. Creating a Continuous Delivery Pipeline with Code services and Amazon ECS
