Containers on Elastic Beanstalk
Nǐ hǎo, I Hope your weekend’s treating you well. Maybe you’re enjoying a refreshing Tusker or something even stronger! Relax and recharge as you gear up for the week ahead.
As for me, I’m thinking about starting a new project — a dedicated grill area for my family and me to enjoy together. Picture it: roasting meat, sharing a cold beer, and making some great memories. It’s these simple, meaningful moments that truly matter to me.
Today’s guide is your gateway to an exciting journey into containers and Elastic Beanstalk (a compute service from AWS). Think of it as our very own “Jack and the Beanstalk” adventure — only with modern tech! We’re diving into some amazing concepts within AWS, and trust me, it’s fascinating stuff.
Before we dive in, here are some key terms to keep in mind:
- Elastic Beanstalk — AWS service for running and scaling web applications.
- Docker Desktop — is a program that makes it easy to work with Docker. Engineers use Docker Desktop to build, test, and deploy applications right from their computers and use Docker in a user-friendly way.
- Docker — A tool to create and manage containers.
- Dockerfile — A file with instructions to build a Docker image.
- Docker Image — A packaged version of an application or service you can run in Docker.
- Containers — Lightweight, isolated environments for running applications.
