The power of "And": Serverless and containers
Modern Applications: Modern compute

For building net-new applications, you should consider using serverless technologies such as AWS Lambda and
AWS Fargate. With serverless, you no longer need to provision or maintain servers, operating systems, or software.
This means you can focus on writing business logic that provides differentiated value to your customers and business.
For modernizing legacy apps and migrating these to the cloud, you should consider using containers. Containers help
you provide a consistent packaging and deployment environment, which facilitates on-premises portability and
hybrid scenarios as you build your cloud migration strategy. Containers also provide complete, granular control of
the compute environment, easing the complexity of migration your apps to the cloud.
When you're ready to containerize, simplify the process with AWS App2Container, which packages your existing
application artifact and identified dependencies into container images, configures the network ports, and generates
the ECS task and Kubernetes pod definitions.
What is serverless?
No infrastructure provisioning,
no management
Pay only for execution time
According to research from IDC, organizations that adopt
serverless technologies reduce their five-year operating cost by
60% while increasing compute deployment efficiency by 89%.
