Docker Container Hosting
Run your Docker containers on Heata's distributed infrastructure. Bring your image, we'll run it — with dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage, persistent volumes, and network access.
Suitable for long-running services, background workers, APIs, and batch processing.
Choose your approach
There are two main paths depending on your existing setup:
Kubernetes
If you already use Kubernetes — or simply want a standard way to run containers — this is the fastest path. Deploy with kubectl or Helm, get ingress, load balancing, and the full K8s ecosystem.
ECS Anywhere
If you already use Amazon ECS, attach Heata VMs as external instances in your existing cluster. Your task definitions, services, and tooling work as-is.
Which option should I pick?
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Starting fresh, no preference | Kubernetes — more flexible, better ecosystem |
| Already using ECS | ECS Anywhere — keep your existing tooling |
| Need ingress / load balancing | Kubernetes — native support |
| Batch jobs / background workers | Either — both work well |
| Want the simplest possible setup | Kubernetes — 5 steps to running |
