Docker Compose
Docker Compose on Ubuntu 24.04
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support & maintenance.
Docker Compose is a powerful tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications on AWS. Using a simple YAML file, developers can easily configure application services, networks, and volumes, making it a breeze to spin up complex environments for both development and production on AWS EC2 instances. Docker Compose allows for streamlined orchestration of containers, making it an essential tool for DevOps and development teams leveraging AWS infrastructure.
Docker Compose is a simple yet powerful tool that is used to run multiple containers as a single service. For example, suppose you have an application which requires Apache as a web server and MySQL as a database service running on AWS. In this case by Docker Compose, you can create one single file (docker-compose.yml) which will create both the containers as a single service without starting each separately, optimizing your AWS resource utilization.
The Compose file provides a way to document and configure all of the application's service dependencies (databases, queues, caches, web service APIs, etc). Using the Compose command line tool you can create and start one or more containers for each dependency with a single command (docker-compose up), perfect for AWS deployment automation.
Docker Compose Features
- Define Multi-Container Applications with Simple YAML Configuration - Streamlined for AWS deployment workflows
- Automated Service Setup with Dependency Management - Integrates seamlessly with AWS services like RDS and ElastiCache
- Efficient Scaling and Resource Allocation - Optimized for AWS EC2 instance types and Auto Scaling
- Integrated Volume and Network Configuration for Secure Isolation - Compatible with AWS VPC and security groups
- Consistent, Reproducible Environments for Development and Production - Across AWS regions and availability zones
- Quickly launch environments with docker-compose up - To match AWS production configurations
- Consistent, reproducible setups - For faster development cycles on AWS infrastructure
- Effortless movement between local, AWS cloud, and CI/CD setups - Using AWS CodePipeline and CodeDeploy
- Works seamlessly on AWS - Supporting hybrid and multi-cloud deployments with AWS services
- Flexible service scaling - To handle varying workloads with AWS Auto Scaling integration
- Configure CPU and memory allocations - For each container to optimize AWS EC2 performance and costs
- Custom network configurations - For secure, isolated environments using AWS VPC
- Secure communication channels - Between containers through Docker networks and AWS security groups
- Supports Docker CLI and AWS ECR - Integrates into AWS CI/CD workflows with CodeBuild and CodePipeline
- Works alongside Docker for efficient container management - On AWS ECS and EKS
- Compatible with Docker Swarm and Amazon EKS - For orchestration in AWS production environments
- AWS CloudFormation Integration - Deploy Docker Compose applications using Infrastructure as Code
- Amazon ECS Integration - Run multi-container applications with managed orchestration
- AWS Fargate Support - Serverless container deployment without managing EC2 instances
Docker Compose commonly replaces alternatives like Docker Swarm, Minikube, and manual scripting, offering a more straightforward solution for multi-container applications on AWS infrastructure while integrating with native AWS container services.

Highlights
- When you are developing software, the ability to run an application in an isolated environment and interact with it is crucial. The Compose command line tool can be used to create the environment and interact with it.
- The Compose file provides a way to document and configure all of the applications service dependencies (databases, queues, caches, web service APIs, etc). Using the Compose command line tool you can create and start one or more containers for each dependency with a single command (docker-compose up).
- Run multiple containers as a single service using 1 yaml file. Scale and manage your apps faster & efficiently.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
