Run Containers in the Cloud for Free
Over 100 AWS Products Available on Free Tier
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a generous free tier for its cloud services, including over 100 products that you can use to run containers for free. This makes it easy to get started with containerization without having to worry about paying for infrastructure costs.
To take advantage of the free tier, you'll need to create an AWS account. Once you've done that, you can launch an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) instance and install Docker. ECR is a managed container registry that makes it easy to store and manage your container images. Docker is a popular container runtime that allows you to run containers on your local machine or in the cloud.
Once you have ECR and Docker installed, you can start creating and running containers. AWS provides a variety of tools to help you with this, including the AWS CLI, the AWS Management Console, and the AWS SDKs. You can also find a number of tutorials and examples online that can help you get started.
Calculate Your Costs
Even though you're using the free tier, it's important to be aware of the costs associated with running containers in the cloud. AWS charges for EC2 instances, ECR storage, and data transfer. You can use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your costs before you start using the service.
