AWS App Runner

AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that simplifies the process of building, deploying, and running containerized web applications and APIs.

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.

Pros

    VMware vSphere

    VMware vSphere with VCF 9.1 is the enterprise workload engine that modernizes compute infrastructure with a future-ready, scalable infrastructure and simplified management that enables organizations to extract maximum value from their current server investments and hardware footprint, rather than requiring a total refresh. vSphere provides a powerful foundation for modern, AI and traditional workloads, while enabling intrinsic security out-of-the-box.
