Deploying a Multi-Tier Application Stack with Amazon ECS, Fargate, and EKS

Containerization has revolutionized the way developers package and deploy applications. By encapsulating an application and its dependencies into a container, developers can ensure consistency across various environments, from development to production. This transformative approach eliminates the need for developers to tailor their application code for specific host environments.

You no longer need to build application code for a specific host environment, and you can easily transition your application from a desktop computer to a virtual server or from a Linux to a Windows OS.

The traditional Virtual Machine (VM) architecture had its limitations. Each VM hosted a guest operating system, leading to a bloated system that reduced agility and resulted in wastage due to duplication. Containers, on the other hand, share the host machine’s OS kernel. This makes them lightweight and quick to start, allowing...
