Docker for AWS
Docker for AWS is the simplest way to install, configure and maintain Docker on AWS. Setup is quick and done with a CloudFormation based template, and updates for new Docker versions are installed with AWS Stack updates.
Docker for AWS is tightly integrated with the Amazon infrastructure to deploy a secure Docker cluster spread over multiple availability zones, provision and auto-configure loadbalancers and send logs to AWS CloudWatch. The result is a high-performance, standard Docker deployment that lets you build, ship and run portable apps in the cloud.
