Concept

Section titled “Concept”

AWS App2Container is a command-line tool that analyzes older apps (Java or .NET) and converts them into containers. It finds the apps running on a server, and identifies the parts they need. Then it builds a container image for the app. It also creates the definitions and CloudFormation templates needed to run the app on Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS. This makes it easier to move an older app into containers without changing its code.
