Summary: <p>Bret and Matt are joined by Corey Quinn to talk about AWS and containers.</p><p><br><strong>Corey Quinn</strong> is the Chief Cloud Economist at the Duckbill Group. You may have seen or heard some of his in-depth AWS content, including his Last Week in AWS newsletter and blog, Corey's podcast Screaming in the Cloud and the AWS Morning Brief, or his highly produced YouTube videos on the Last Week in AWS channel. </p><p>Corey runs the Duckbill Group, a company of people focused on helping clients understand and manage their cloud spend. If I had to describe Corey in a sentence, he's a quick thinking AWS expert who is one part cloud strategist, and one part sarcasm. </p><p>The inspiration for this show came from his blog series, focused on all the ways to run containers on AWS, which is to say there's a lot. Dozens of ways, in fact, which I took as a testament to how containers have won the cloud as the primary way to package and deploy software to servers. Now, the hard part for us is to figure out which method we're going to choose for running those containers. </p><p>We go on lots of tangents, but overall it was a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy this episode.</p><p><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jEVMOKBCqo"><strong>Live recording</strong></a><strong> of the complete show from May 4, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #214).</strong></p><p>★Topics★<br><a href="https://cloudresumechallenge.dev/">The Cloud Resume Challenge</a><br><a href="https://www.lastweekinaws.com/">Last Week in AWS</a><br><a href="https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/the-17-ways-to-run-containers-on-aws/">17 ways to run containers on AWS</a><br><a href="https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/17-more-ways-to-run-containers-on-aws/">17 MORE ways to run containers on AWS</a><strong></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Support this show and get exclusive benefits on </strong><a href="https://patreon.com/BretFisher"><strong>Patreon</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BretFisher"><strong>YouTube</strong></a><strong>, or </strong><a href="https://www.bretfisher.com/"><strong>bretfisher.com</strong></a><strong>!</strong></p><p>★<strong>Join my Community</strong>★<br>Get on the waitlist for my next live <a href="https://bret.courses/autodeploy"><strong>course on CI automation and gitops deployments</strong></a><br>Best coupons for my <a href="https://www.bretfisher.com/courses"><strong>Docker and Kubernetes courses</strong></a><br>Chat with us and fellow students on our Discord Server <a href="https://devops.fan/"><strong>DevOps Fans</strong></a><strong><br></strong>Grab some merch at <a href="https://bretfisher.myspreadshop.com/"><strong>Bret's Loot Box</strong></a></p><p>Homepage <a href="https://bretfisher.com/"><strong>bretfisher.com</strong></a></p><br><strong>Creators & Guests</strong><ul> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/bret-fisher">Bret Fisher</a> - Host</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/cristi-cotovan">Cristi Cotovan</a> - Editor</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/beth-fisher">Beth Fisher</a> - Producer</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/matt-williams">Matt Williams</a> - Host</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/corey-quinn">Corey Quinn</a> - Guest</li> </ul> <ul> <li>(00:00) - Intro</li> <li>(07:19) - 17 Ways to Run Containers on AWS</li> <li>(09:57) - If you're using the cloud, use the cloud!</li> <li>(13:32) - Data loss and it's only on the internet forever</li> <li>(17:58) - Recommended ways to run containers on AWS</li> <li>(22:49) - Biggest burn on people's AWS bills </li> <li>(29:33) - Docker Desktop on top of AWS EC2 in Windows and do you need bare metal?</li> <li>(30:13) - Bare metal required for Hyper-V</li> <li>(32:39) - AWS App Runner</li> <li>(40:26) - Services AWS has dropped</li> <li>(41:39) - Workloads inside the container; where the container should run</li> <li>(44:13) - Building experience...hands-on projects vs getting certifications</li> <li>(55:31) - Migrating.
