5. What's Container ?
5.1. **Containers** are packages of software that contain all of the necessary elements to run in any environment. In this way, containers virtualize the operating system and run anywhere, from a private data center to the public cloud or even on a developer's personal laptop.
5.2. Containers provide a standard way to package your application’s code, configurations, and dependencies into a single object. Containers share an operating system installed on the server and run as resource-isolated processes, ensuring quick, reliable, and consistent deployments, regardless of environment.
5.3. Containers are lightweight and provide a consistent, portable software environment for applications to easily run and scale anywhere. Containers make it easier to manage your underlying infrastructure, whether on-premises or in the cloud, so you can focus on innovation and your business needs.
5.4. Container orchestration (such as Kubernetes) automates the scheduling, development, networking, scaling, health monitoring, and management of your containers.
6. Identify ? (eg: EKS)
6.1. Environment
6.1.1. Complete control of environment. You control underlying infrastructure configuration such as VM Size, OS, AMI, etc
6.1.2. Requires management (e.g. patching, updates) and orchestration
6.1.3. Install almost any software
6.1.4. Prepackaged images with different software available
6.2. Resource Configuration
6.2.1. You can configure memory and CPU allocation as per need
6.2.2. Can choose underlying EC2 instance type appropriate to workload
6.3. Scaling
6.3.1. One Pod can serve more than one connection
6.3.2. Configure scaling using HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaling) and/or CA (Cluster Autoscaling)
6.4. Cost
6.4.1. With containers, you pay for them as long as they’re on (Pay-as-you-go). Containers are constantly running in most of the cases
6.5. Run Duration
6.5.1. No runtime time limit constraints. Containers can run for prolonged periods of time
6.6. Integration with Other Services
6.6.1. (Amazon EKS) Integrated with a few AWS services, such as IAM, ALB with help of Ingress
6.7. High Availability
6.7.1. You need to ensure high availability
6.8. Logging & Monitoring
6.8.1. (For Kubernetes) Fluentbit/Fluentd can be used to send logs to CloudWatch, S3, ES, Splunk, Datadog, etc
6.8.2. For monitoring, you can install an agent to work with Prometheus, Grafana, etc
6.9. Portability/Vendor lock-in
6.9.1. Containers can run anywhere. You just need container runtime installed
6.10. Supported languages
6.10.1. Applications can be containerized as long as the underlying host server supports the language they are written in
6.11. Development and Testability
6.11.1. Containers run the same no matter where they are deployed. You can easily run and test your applications anywhere
6.11.2. Containers can easily be run in a cloud, local data center or on a developer’s workstation
6.12. Security
6.12.1. Pods support security groups and IAM roles to access other AWS resource
6.12.2. OPA (Open Policy Agent) to enforce semantic validation of objects during create, update, and delete operations
6.12.3. Each Pod can have its own IP from VPC
6.12.4. EKS on EC2, FedRAMP in Gov regions
6.13. Operational Complexity
6.13.1. Containers take longer to set up initially than serverless functions because it is necessary to configure system settings, libraries, and so on. It is possible to offload infrastructure management to a provider, but that isn’t always the case.
