Docker and AWS have been working together to improve the Docker experience you already know and love. Deploying from Docker straight to AWS with your existing workflow has never been easier. Developers can use Docker Compose and Docker Desktop to deploy applications on Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate. This new functionality streamlines the process of deploying and managing containers in AWS from a local development environment running Docker. Join us for a hands-on walk through of how you can get started today.

Modernize with containers
• Provide a standard way to
package your application's code,
configurations, and dependencies into a
single object.
• Share an operating system installed on
the server and run as resource-isolated
processes, ensuring quick, reliable, and
consistent deployments, regardless of
environment.

Benefits of containers
• Applications and dependencies defined as code
• Easier to manage applications built as microservices
• Standardized packaging enables automated testing
and deployment
• Consistent implementation model enables easier
monitoring
• Built-in versioning and dependency declarations
enable security and compliance controls

Docker and ECS Experience
Developer Experience:
• Easily switch context from local development to
AWS
• docker context use aws
• Use the existing Compose syntax to launch or
terminate ECS services
• Docker compose up
• Docker CLI leverages the local AWS CLI credentials
for security into AWS
• Launches the application into Amazon ECS on AWS
Fargate with typical defaults
• Provisions the application and AWS resources via
CloudFormation right from the Docker CLI
• Allows the user to convert a Compose file to an
AWS CloudFormation template
