Why use containers for your application?
Containers are a popular open source standard for developing, packaging, and operating applications at scale. There are a few key benefits to using containers:
Packaging
Containers provide you with a reliable way to gather your application components and package them together into one build artifact. This is important because modern applications are usually composed of a variety of pieces that must work together in sync. These pieces include not only your code, but also dependencies, binaries, or system libraries.

Why use infrastructure as code?
Infrastructure as code is the process of provisioning and managing your cloud resources by writing a template file that describes what infrastructure you want to create. The template file is both human readable, as well as machine consumable. Humans write or edit the file in order to change what infrastructure they would like in their cloud deployment. An infrastructure as code service then makes automated API calls to actually create or update the infrastructure to match what the infrastructure as code template requested.
Infrastructure as code can help you deploy cloud architecture faster and more reliably.
Hello World
Well, well, well. Look what we have here.
You have no idea how pleased I am to present to the world the newest resources for AWS Builders using Amazon Elastic Container services. We talk a lot about the mind-numbing size and popularity of ECS, including:
Welcome to Containers on AWS, the newest resource for AWS builders who want to deploy containerized applications on Amazon ECS
Hi I'm Nathan Peck! 👋
Hi! I work as a senior developer advocate at AWS.
Prior to working at AWS I worked in the NYC startup scene, on my own personal projects, as well as Airtime (a social media platform focused on live social experiences), and StoryDesk (an iPad first presentation software with a built-in analytics system).
Meet AWS developer advocate Nathan Peck, and learn his thoughts on building with containers.
Shalom, I'm Maish!!
Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to meet you all. Let me introduce myself.
My name is Maish Saidel-Keesing and I am a Senior Developer Advocate for the Amazon Elastic Container Service team at AWS. I have been tinkering with technology for a LONG time, I can still remember when my first computer was a ZX Spectrum, where I mostly played computer games as a kid that would load from a tape recorder. We have come a long way since then.
