Running Containerized Microservices on AWS

This AWS whitepaper covers strategies for running containerized microservices on AWS. It combines the 12 factor application principles with container best practices.

I contributed several sections to the whitepaper, including “Smart Endpoints and Dumb Pipes” and “Decentralized Governance”.

You can download the white paper, or read it using the embedded viewer below. Downloading the source PDF is better for screen readers and selectable text, as the embedded PDF viewer is only an image.

August 5, 2021: The whitepaper has been updated with new content to reference more modern solutions. You can still access the older version in the download section at the bottom of this page.
