In this TechTalk, Hammad Alam and Gene Leyfer talk about Networking and Security design best practices for AWS Fargate.
AWS Fargate provides a managed compute engine service to run your containerized workloads in AWS. It works with both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). The aim of AWS Fargate is to reduce the management overhead for customers in managing the container infrastructure and focus on applications only. Although AWS Fargate solves the management challenges for compute and storage, networking and security remains the customers responsibility. When you deploy workloads on AWS Fargate, you choose the VPC/Subnet for connectivity and from there on the workload acts and behaves same as any other EC2 instance in your VPC. In this session, we will discuss:
Overview of AWS Fargate for Containers
How it works and how the networking and security becomes your responsibility
Share best practice designs for AWS Fargate to improve networking and security
Demonstrate end to end workflow with Advanced Networking, Security and Operational Visibility into traffic
