Launching container software from AWS Marketplace
After you have an active subscription to a container product in AWS Marketplace, the next step is to launch the software. To launch the software, 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 to be deployed 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 fulfillment options are provided by the seller, their names and content will be different 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. The three available delivery methods for container products are Container image, Helm chart, and Add on for Amazon EKS.
