AWS DevDay Munich 2018:
Containers are an increasingly important way for developers to package and deploy their applications and AWS offers multiple container products to help you deploy, manage, and scale containers in production. In this session we we cover the state of containerized application development and deployment trends, new container capabilities on AWS that are available now, options for running containerized applications on AWS, and how AWS customers successfully run container workloads in production.
Learn more about containers here: aws.amazon.com/containers/

Great presentation, thanks!

[@brandonhunter3036]

Excellent presentation, great points about security! Only proxy services or servers should be running in a public-facing subnet to minimize attack surface area from the Internet.

[@agassijoel3343]

How can we know that this kind of summits, webinars or sessions are given by AWS?

[@ManuelKanah]

Nice presentation. Are the couldformation files available somewhere? Thanks

[@sriharshacv7760]

I was hoping to learn how NLB works in conjunction with multiple private subnets and how to make Enpointservice available in multiple AZs without running out of CIDR blocks. Does any one have any references?

[@letme4u]

Nice presentation. Better if pricing comparison between ecs-ec2 / ecs-fargate for same service type and duration would be helpful. Any references?

[@renatoargh]

Tried to find the CF templates used but no luck.. Can anyone point to the resources he used in this presentation?

[@renatoargh]

Found! gitlab.com/ric_harvey/bl_practical_fargate

[@gwawrz1]

What kind of terminal is he using? Is it iterm2 with oh-my-zsh?

[@cam8001]

Yep, with the Powerlevel9k/Powerlevel10k theme I think github.com/Powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k

[@guillaume3898]

20:16 that is not correct, Fargate still does not support EFS mounts

[@Rarez2]

As of April 2020, Fargate now supports EFS. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/04/amazon-ecs-aws-fargate-support-amazon-efs-filesystems-generally-available/

I found this very hard to follow

[@plopplop.]

12:10 Many containers may want way more than 4vCPU and 30GB ram. I was running Cassandra in Kubernetes and it would take 8 vcpu and 64GB ram (could have been more too).

[@not_a_human_being]

can't ssh into your instance.. uh.. honestly it's a MASSIVE drawback - you can have ssh available and still do things properly.

[@NathanM229]

You can, its just very cumbersome.

[@tknuwan]

How come you can run more computations by running this docker. If you have 1 gb or memory it's 1 gb. This is just over complicated crap.

[@flagbearer223]

I don't think anyone was suggesting that it'd allow you to do more computations - the goal of this is to reduce the overall complexity of operating large groups of pieces of software. For example, I've got a service that only needs to be running something like 10% of the time, and it's impossible to predict when it needs to be running beforehand. I only want it to run when needed, so I can define a fargate configuration for it and scale it up and down when needed without having to worry about additional logic & configuration that would need to be created and managed if I were to run this through traditional EC2 VMs

[@blypt]

Very slow and hard to understand

[@khaldrogo9451]

After this presentation amazon fired him.

[@PsYcLoNe1976]

Nope, he continued to work at AWS until Dec 2019
