More and more companies are basing a large part or all of their applications on containerization. For example, Google, Spotify and Netflix have announced that their platforms have evolved in recent years to a container-based model.

Given the large volume of containers they handle, it is crucial to have an orchestrator that can control the management and operational tasks on a day-to-day basis. Some of these companies, such as Google, have been pioneers and have invented and evolved solutions such as Kubernetes.

But not everything ends with Kubernetes. Netflix chose to create its own development solution, Titus.[i] Titusis is based on Amazon EC2 instances and integrates in a cloud-native path to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run hundreds of thousands of containers that deliver productive workloads to the world leader in streaming services. AWS is evolving its container support and adoption plans by expanding the scope of one of its core solutions in the current portfolio, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). Launched in 2015, ECS has a similar architecture as Kubernetes but is more closely aligned with AWS building blocks and terminology.
