AWS Containerization With Docker, ECR, ECS & Fargate

Containerization has emerged as a dominant strategy for many organizations seeking agility, efficiency, and consistency in their web deployment processes. Using Docker Hub in combination with AWS ECR can be considered a hybrid approach to containerization of web applications, combining the strengths of both public and private container image repositories to provide a versatile and secure deployment strategy. Organizations that require stricter access control and enhanced security for their container images would benefit from this approach. Some companies may use Docker Hub for development or legacy applications and migrate to ECR for production or as they grow. Others may keep images on both for redundancy. Let’s get a better understanding by first reviewing each service/platform. <h2>Docker</h2> Docker provides a consistent and reproducible way to build, ship, and run applications, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. To be more specific, Docker is a containerization platform that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers. These Containers are isolated environments that encase everything needed to run an application, including code, runtime, system libraries/packages, and settings. This is ideal for a microservices architecture where each service runs in its isolated environment. <a href="https://chineloosuji.medium.com/aws-containerization-with-docker-ecr-ecs-fargate-4bd458e5de2e">Read More</a>
