Launching container software from AWS Marketplace - AWS Marketplace

Launching container software from AWS Marketplace

After you have an active subscription to a container product in AWS Marketplace, you launch the software. To do so, follow the instructions included in one of the fulfillment options provided by the seller. In AWS Marketplace, a fulfillment option is an optional seller-provided procedure for launching their product in your environment. For container products, the seller can provide up to four fulfillment options, which can use different delivery methods and represent different configurations for the software. For example, a seller might create one fulfillment option that's used for testing the product, and another for deploying the product at scale within an enterprise.

You can see the fulfillment options that are available in the Usage Information section of a product's detail page. Alongside the fulfillment options provided by the seller, AWS Marketplace includes instructions for pulling the Docker images directly from Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR).

Because the sellers provide the fulfillment options, their names and content will differ for each product in AWS Marketplace. Although the methods are unique to each product and seller, each fulfillment option must have a delivery method. You can think of a delivery method as a fulfillment option type. You can use the following delivery methods for container products:

  • Container image

  • Helm chart

  • Add on for Amazon EKS
