AWS App Runner vs. Canonical Kubernetes

AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that simplifies the process of building, deploying, and running containerized web applications and APIs. Designed for developers without prior infrastructure or container experience, App Runner handles the complexities of infrastructure management, allowing users to focus on their application code. By connecting directly to your source code or container image repository, App Runner provides an automatic integration and delivery pipeline with fully managed operations, high performance, scalability, and security.

Ubuntu is the reference platform for Kubernetes on all major public clouds, including official support in Google’s GKE, Microsoft’s AKS and Amazon’s EKS CAAS offerings. We deliver pure upstream Kubernetes tested across the widest range of clouds — from public clouds to private data centres, from bare metal to virtualised infrastructure.
