Scenarios

This section includes a set of customer use cases, applications for AWS features and services, reporting requirements, data structures, testing protocols, and workloads.

We will cover a series of scenarios that represent common patterns and strategies that are used when designing and building containerized applications. We will present the assumptions we made for each of these scenarios, the common drivers for the design, and a reference architecture of how these scenarios should be implemented.

The Container technology terminology is a common component across the scenarios in the whitepaper. A CI/CD pipeline consists of the tools and automation to deliver a CI/CD strategy. The pipeline tools are general responsible for building code, running tests, and deploying updated versions of applications automatically.

Building a continuous integration (CI) pipeline that builds your containerized application and base images is critical to automating the software development lifecycle. CI pipelines enable development teams to automate the staging and building of the containerized application and base container images to ensure that development teams are focused on application development and not code deployment.
