Docker Swarm represents Docker's native container management platform that is built right into the Docker Engine, and for many people who are using Docker for the first time, Docker Swarm is the first container management platform that they read and learn about, given that it is an integrated feature of the Docker Engine. Docker Swarm is naturally a competitor to the ECS, Fargate, Elastic Beanstalk, and recent Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) offerings supported by AWS, so you might be wondering why a book on Docker in AWS would have a chapter dedicated to Docker Swarm. Many organizations prefer to use cloud-agnostic container management platforms that they can run on AWS, other cloud providers such as Google Cloud and Azure, as well as on premises, and if this is the case for you and your organization, then Docker Swarm is certainly an option worth considering...

Overview of this book
Over the last few years, Docker has been the gold standard for building and distributing container applications. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a leader in public cloud computing, and was the first to offer a managed container platform in the form of the Elastic Container Service (ECS).
Docker on Amazon Web Services starts with the basics of containers, Docker, and AWS, before teaching you how to install Docker on your local machine and establish access to your AWS account. You'll then dig deeper into the ECS, a native container management platform provided by AWS that simplifies management and operation of your Docker clusters and applications for no additional cost. Once you have got to grips with the basics, you'll solve key operational challenges, including secrets management and auto-scaling your infrastructure and applications. You'll explore alternative strategies for deploying and running your Docker applications on AWS, including Fargate and ECS Service Discovery, Elastic Beanstalk, Docker Swarm and Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). In addition to this, there will be a strong focus on adopting an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach using AWS CloudFormation.
By the end of this book, you'll not only understand how to run Docker on AWS, but also be able to build real-world, secure, and scalable container platforms in the cloud.
