Custom containers
AWS SimSpace Weaver apps run in containerized Amazon Linux 2 (AL2)
environments. In the AWS Cloud, SimSpace Weaver runs your simulations in Docker containers
built from an amazonlinux:2 image served from Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). You can create
a custom Docker image, store it in in Amazon ECR, and use that image for your simulation instead
of the default Docker image that we provide.
You can use a custom container to manage your software dependencies and include additional software components that aren't in the standard Docker image. For example, you can add the publicly-available software libraries that your app uses to the container and only put your custom code in the app zip file.
Important
We only support AL2 Docker images hosted in Amazon ECR repositories, either in Amazon ECR Public Gallery or your private Amazon ECR registry. We don't support Docker images hosted outside Amazon ECR. For more information about Amazon ECR, see Amazon Elastic Container Registry Documentation.
