Runnig AWS Services on LocalStack - Docker

In this video I will show how to run AWS services locally on your development system using Docker. To get started, you need to install Docker Desktop on your Windows system.  Once Docker is installed, you can create a new directory on your local system and clone or download the localstack repository. The repository contains a docker-compose.yml file that defines the services you want to run locally. You can modify this file to specify the services you need and the ports they will listen on.  Once you have the docker-compose.yml file, you can run the docker-compose up command to start the services.  This will create and run Docker containers for each service.  You can then access the services using their respective endpoints.
