Custom containers

AWS SimSpace Weaver apps run in containerized Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) environments. In the AWS Cloud, SimSpace Weaver runs your simulations in Docker containers built from an amazonlinux:2 image served from Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). You can create a custom Docker image, store it in in Amazon ECR, and use that image for your simulation instead of the default Docker image that we provide.

You can use a custom container to manage your software dependencies and include additional software components that aren't in the standard Docker image. For example, you can add the publicly-available software libraries that your app uses to the container and only put your custom code in the app zip file.
