Summary

Containerized applications are becoming the norm for deploying microservices, and cloud vendors are all following that trend.

Google, Amazon, and all the other big players are now able to deploy and manage clusters of Docker containers. So, if your application is dockerized, you should be able to deploy it easily. In this chapter, we have looked at how to do it in AWS, which has its service (ECS) to manage Docker images that is tightly integrated with all the other main AWS services.

Once you are familiar with all the AWS services, it is a pretty powerful platform that can be tweaked to publish not only large-scale microservices-based applications, but also smaller applications for a fraction of the price you would pay if you were running your own data center.

In the next chapter, we conclude this book by giving a few leads for going further into the art of building microservices.
