IBM WebSphere ND migration to Amazon ECS Fargate

Question

I'm assessing to migrate my IBM WebSphere ND to AWS over Amazon ECS using a WebSphere container but I have several questions:
* Do u know which container I can use and where pull this docker? Is there a public docker hub supported by IBM?
* What is license model provided by IBM? We are calculating this price using PVU but the result is not what we expect because there r huge costs, especially considering auto-scaling capabilities that we would like to implement. Is there some container/based model that can help to keep WebSphere but use AWS at the same time?

Answer

Answer to you questions :- 
Do u know which container I can use and where pull this docker? Is there a public docker hub supported by IBM?  yes there is a docker hub for this :- https://hub.docker.com/_/websphere-liberty 
These images are suitable for deploying WebSphere ND in containers. However, ensure compatibility and test thoroughly with your specific workload and requirements.

Considerations for ECS Fargate:  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/fargate-tasks-services.html
ECS Fargate offers a serverless container management platform, eliminating the need to manage underlying infrastructure.Ensure compatibility of WebSphere ND with ECS Fargate's runtime environment and any networking requirements.Evaluate the feasibility and cost implications of running WebSphere ND on ECS Fargate compared to traditional VM-based deployments.

while migrating IBM WebSphere ND to Amazon ECS Fargate is feasible, it requires careful planning, compatibility testing, and consideration of licensing implications. Engage with IBM, AWS, and experienced partners to ensure a successful migration that meets your business and technical requirements.

Hope it clarifies and if does I would appreciate answer to be accepted so that community can benefit for clarity, thanks ;)
