A standardised unit that packages code with its dependencies so it runs consistently across environments; lighter-weight than VMs.
Elastic Container Registry — a fully managed registry to store, scan, and version container images.
AWS-native container orchestration to run and scale containers; integrates tightly with AWS and runs on EC2 or Fargate.
Managed Kubernetes — runs the upstream Kubernetes control plane for portability; runs on EC2 or Fargate.
Serverless compute for containers (ECS/EKS): you specify CPU/memory and Fargate provisions and manages the infrastructure — no EC2 to operate.
ECS for simpler, AWS-integrated orchestration; EKS when you need Kubernetes portability/ecosystem. Both can use Fargate to remove server management.
Containers virtualise the OS and share the host kernel (fast, lightweight); VMs virtualise hardware with a full guest OS (stronger isolation, heavier).
