# AWS Containers

Get containers running on AWS, and find out why they stopped

## What this does

You have an application packaged in a container and you need it running on AWS, or it is running badly. This covers getting it deployed, storing the images, scaling it, shipping its logs, and getting inside a running one to look around when something is wrong. It is not for Kubernetes and not for build pipelines.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Deploy a container service and wire up its load balancer
- Debug a task that keeps dying or failing health checks
- Get secrets into a running container

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About AWS Containers

This covers deploying and operating containerized workloads on ECS, Fargate and ECR: task definitions, Fargate services, ECR repository setup and lifecycle policies, service scaling, deployment strategies, load balancer integration and logging configuration. ECS Exec is there for debugging a running container.

It also handles the decisions and the failures around that - choosing between deployment options such as ECS and ECS Express Mode, networking modes, health check troubleshooting, OOM errors, secrets injection, blue/green deployments and ECR image management - along with App Runner sunset guidance and migration.

It is not for Kubernetes or EKS, and not for CI/CD pipelines.

## Questions

### Is AWS Containers safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of AWS Containers and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit b33847dd218c, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/aws-containers.

### How do I install AWS Containers?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/aws-containers on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/b33847dd218c6ceef176cd5efdcfff50560faf7d/skills/core-skills/aws-containers. Install from that link, not the branch.
