Making Sense of the '17 Ways to Run Containers on AWS'
summary
The talk compares about 17 AWS options for running containers by grouping them into capacity choices (EC2, Fargate, on‑prem/edge), orchestrators (ECS, EKS, ROSA/Openshift) and provisioning layers (App Runner, Copilot, Docker Compose). It highlights concrete data (10 billion image pulls/week) and explains that Fargate is an execution engine used by orchestrators (so decisions are often ECS Fargate vs EKS Fargate), and that provisioning tools trade control for simplicity (App Runner vs Copilot), with no single checklist covering every case.
