Hosting Docker apps on AWS, with Fargate

It's one thing to make your app run in Docker, but it's another to put that on the internet. In this talk, we'll look at what it takes to get your Dockerized app running in AWS. Along the way, we'll learn about load balancers, Cloudformation, and Fargate.

Don't panic! You don't need to know anything about AWS to attend this talk.


This talk is a distillation of the years I've spent learning about AWS hosting and configuration. It's not Docker specific (although the talk does include some Docker content), but rather what to do once the attendees have a working Docker container/app and want it to be open to the public.

Topics include:

  • Brief overview of Docker config/usage
  • Overview of related AWS services and technologies (like load balancers and Cloudformation)
  • Intro to Cloudformation scripting
  • Intro to AWS console
  • Demo
  • Caveats (including pricing and training materials)
