1. What App Runner?

  • It is fully managed container development service.
  • Fargate 2.0 — container deployment service
  • Comparable to heroku(container-based cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS))
  • similar to ElasticBeanstalk EC2

2. Features

  • AutoBuild and deployment
  • Load balancing
  • Autoscaling
  • Certificate setup
  • log, metric integration
  • aws clockwatch

3. Integration and Configuration

  • ECR image upload or Github source update
  • Specify the resources and memory Features

4. Workflow

  • Connect to source -> configure -> launch and go

5. Pricing model

  • Provisioned instances — $0.007/GB hours
  • Active instances- $0.064/vCPU hour +$0.0007/GB hour
  • more computation, more money-
  • Additional charge

→ automatic deployment — 1$/ month per app

→ Build fees- $0.005/build minute

→ Cloudwatch -$0.50 per GB

6. Gotchas (an unexpected usually disconcerting challenge)

  • VPC connectivity is not supported
  • Can not scale down to zero

7.AWS management console -> search aws app runner

Create app runner service-> container registry-> amazon ecr -> browse (add your amazon ecr image)-> Automatic -> create new service -> next

configure

service name-> mention port you gonna use->set others as default->next

->create and deployment

see your running your code -> got to actions ->delete(so that no extra charge)
