我如何真正将 docker-compose.yml 部署到云端？

Question

I have a docker-compose.yml configuratio that spin up multiple services such as SQL Server , redis and Elasticsearch . Everything is fine in the local development, I run docker-compose up -d --build on a Windows machine and exposes its IP and ports number to the public. That's how I deploy my docker containers.

But how do I deploy it to the cloud? What website offers this service? I know AWS could host containers but could it run docker-compose up -d --build ?

I have been trying to google search deploy docker containers but all I could find was to deploy the docker containers on your local machine, or use kubernetes to deploy which I have no understanding about.

Answer 1

I have an example here in my github repo of spinning up docker compose on Amazon Lightsail, but the process would be very similar for EC2

Scroll down to the Docker part of the readme. For EC2 instead of using the "launch script" dialogue you just paste the script into the user data section in the EC2 creation process.

Generally speaking docker-compose can be used to deploy in a production environment. Only one difference that you can do, instead of build the image you can push the images to AWS ECR or any alternative registry like Gitlab registry if you are using Gitlab then you can pull the image directly to the server/instance where you are going to deploy.

Also AWS has a service called ECS which also can be used to deploy containers but without using docker-compose
