I am a bit late to the party and am just delving into containers now. At work we use vSphere as our virtualization platform, but are likely to move to "the cloud" (AWS, GCP, Heroku, etc.) at some point in the somewhat-near future.

Ideally, I'd like to build up our app containers such that I could easily port them from running on vSPhere nodes to AWS EC2 instances.

So I ask:

  • Are all Docker containers created equal? Could I port a Docker container of our own creation to AWS Container Service with zero config?
  • I believe Kubernetes helps map containers to the virtualization resources they need. Any chance this runs on AWS as well, or does AWS-ECS take care of this for me?

Kubernetes is designed to run on multiple cloud platforms (as well as bare metal). See Getting started on AWS for AWS specific instructions.
