Docker and AWS Resources for Developers

AWS re:Invent kicks off this week and if you are anything like us, we are super geeked out to watch and attend all the talks that are lined up for the next three weeks.

To get ready for re:Invent, we’ve gathered some of our best resources and expert guidance to get the most out of the Docker platform when building apps for AWS. Check out these blogs, webinars and DockTalks from the past few weeks to augment your re:Invent experience over the next three weeks:
