Summary
In this chapter, we have looked at how we can deploy our Docker containers into services offered by the three leading public cloud providers using their container-only services. The services we looked at all approach both the deployment and management of containers in very different ways, from the fully managed Docker-based web app in Azure app services to AWS' own clustering service Amazon ECS.
The differences between all of these services are quite important as it means that if you want to use them, then you are tied to just the one cloud provider. While in most cases, that shouldn't be too much of a problem, it could in the long term end up limiting you.
In the next chapter (and in subsequent chapters), we will explore one of the most exciting services to arrive on the scene since Docker: Kubernetes.
