  • Deeper understanding on how Amazon ECS, EKS, and Fargate supports Windows containers

Description

Windows applications are everywhere, from basic intranet applications to high-traffic public APIs. Their prevalence underscores the importance of combining the same tools and experience for managing a modern containerized application with existing critical Windows applications to reduce costs, achieve outstanding operational excellence, and modernize quickly. This comprehensive guide to running and managing Windows containers on AWS looks at the best practices from years of customer interactions to help you stay ahead of the curve. Starting with Windows containers basics, you’ll learn about the architecture design that powers Amazon ECS, EKS, and AWS Fargate for Windows containers. With the help of examples and best practices, you’ll explore in depth how to successfully run and manage Amazon ECS, EKS, and AWS Fargate clusters with Windows containers support. Next, the book covers day 2 operations in detail, from logging and monitoring to using ancillary AWS tools that fully containerize existing legacy .NET Framework applications into containers without any code changes. The book also covers the most common Windows container operations, such as image lifecycle and working with ephemeral hosts. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered how to run Windows containers on AWS and be ready to start your modernization journey confidently.

Marcio Morales knows Windows containers on AWS better than anyone. Technical books vary a lot in quality these days. This is the real deal: it's clearly written and is full of gems.A theme throughout the book is blending modern infrastructure and legacy infrastructure, which most enterprises are dealing with. In Part 1, Marcio explains why Windows Containers are important, how they work, and the AWS services that can host them. I particularly liked the discussion of container orchestration services and considerations for making the right decision. Parts 2 and Part 3 delve into the details of Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. Both Kubernetes fans and the Kubernetes-averse will find valuable guidance here. Finally, Part 4 covers the operational aspects of Windows containers on AWS. This includes monitoring, logging, and lifecycle. I particularly liked the chapter on using an image cache strategy to boost performance. He also covers AWS deployment and modernization tools.What I appreciate most about this book is how practical it is: it's focused on lessons learned in the field working with real customers. I learned a lot from it, and I recommend it to anyone considering or working with Windows containers on AWS.

I am learning about AWS and used this book to research containers and how Windows and Linux differ. If you NEED Windows then you can make it work. That’s great. If you don’t (my app is cross platform) the you should probably use Linux. I found what I needed in this book.
