AWS App2Container is a command line tool that helps transform existing applications running on premises or on virtual machines into containers, without needing code changes.
Based on application type, App2Container takes a conservative approach to identify dependencies. For process mode, all non-system files on the application server are included in the container image. In such cases, a fairly large image might be generated.
This pattern provides an approach for optimizing the container images generated by App2Container. It is applicable for all Java applications discovered by App2Container in process mode. The workflow defined in the pattern is designed to be run on the application server.
