Abstract: Modern software systems require flexible and scalable deployment environments to support growing workloads and complex applications. Containerization has emerged as an efficient solution that allows applications to be packaged with all required dependencies into lightweight containers. Docker is one of the most widely used containerization technologies that enables developers to build portable and consistent application environments. However, managing containers in large-scale environments requires a reliable orchestration platform.

This research presents a cloud-based deployment architecture titled “Dockerized Microservices Architecture on AWS ECS.” The system integrates Docker containerization with several Amazon Web Services (AWS) components including Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).

Docker is used to build container images for the application, while Amazon ECR stores these images securely in private repositories. Amazon ECS is responsible for container orchestration, enabling automated deployment, monitoring, and scaling of containerized applications. Amazon EC2 provides the computing infrastructure required to run containers within the ECS cluster. IAM ensures secure authentication and role-based access control for cloud resources.

The proposed system demonstrates a scalable and secure container deployment model that improves application portability, deployment efficiency, and resource utilization. The results show that combining Docker with AWS ECS can significantly simplify cloud deployment and support modern DevOps practices for building reliable microservices-based applications.

Keywords: Docker, Microservices Architecture, AWS ECS, Cloud Deployment, Containerization, DevOps.
