AWS Elastic Beanstalk Adds Support for Running Multi-Container Applications on AL2 based Docker Platform

You can now run multi-container applications in AWS Elastic Beanstalk using the Docker platform built on top of [Amazon Linux 2](/amazon-linux-2/) Operating System. The Elastic Beanstalk Docker on Amazon Linux 2 platform now supports docker-compose.yml format to define and run multiple containers. For more information about Docker on Amazon Linux 2 platform, see the Elastic Beanstalk [developer guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/single-container-docker-configuration.html). To get started, create a new AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment running on Docker on Amazon Linux 2 platform using the Elastic Beanstalk console, the EB CLI, or the Elastic Beanstalk API. For information on updating your existing multi-container applications to Amazon Linux 2 platforms, see [Migrating to the Docker Amazon Linux 2 platform](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/docker-multicontainer-migration.html). Follow the public [Elastic Beanstalk roadmap](https://github.com/aws/elastic-beanstalk-roadmap) on GitHub to get updates on recently launched features, upcoming features, and to provide feedback on features you want us to support.
