Running Containers on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
Develop practical, in-depth skills for managing containers with Amazon EKS
Amazon EKS makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane. In this three-day course, you'll learn container management and orchestration for Kubernetes using Amazon EKS. You'll build an Amazon EKS cluster, configure the environment, deploy the cluster, and add applications to your cluster. Also discover how to manage container images using Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and learn how to automate application deployment. In addition, you'll deploy applications using CI/CD tools. You'll review how to monitor and scale your environment by using metrics, logging, tracing, and horizontal/vertical scaling. Learn efficiency, cost, and resiliency by designing and managing a large container environment. Lastly, explore configuring AWS networking services to support the cluster and learn how to secure your Amazon EKS environment.
