Technical requirements

The wonderful thing about using AWS, whether for containerization or anything else, is that we get to use the computing power of Amazon’s infrastructure. That means you don’t need a really high-end workstation to do any of the exercises in this chapter. All you need is the following:

A modern desktop or laptop PC running Windows, macOS, or a common Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Debian. A MacBook or a Windows 11 OEM PC with at least 4 GB of RAM works great.
A well-supported web browser such as Safari 15 or later, Microsoft Edge 83 or later, Mozilla Firefox 105 or later, or Google Chrome 115 or later.
A reliable internet connection.
