Containers Roadmap
This project provides strategic roadmaps and guides detailing the evolution and deployment patterns of managed container orchestration and security services. It serves as a public tracking document for upcoming features and development priorities for EKS, ECS, ECR, and Fargate.
The resource includes a cloud container orchestration guide and a Kubernetes and ECS strategy, outlining the development of managed Kubernetes and proprietary orchestration services for cloud infrastructure. It also provides a security and monitoring plan focused on scanning malicious activity and tracking workload health.
The material covers a broad range of infrastructure capabilities, including resource provisioning, automatic scaling of compute and tasks, and container image management. It addresses networking and traffic management through load balancing and pod density optimization, as well as observability via log routing and performance tracking.
