Managing Docker Containers on AWS with the GUI from Pluralsight

Docker containers are more and more present in IT discussions these days. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of Docker containers in AWS. Hands-on labs will teach you how to easily get started by running your first Docker container.

A couple of years ago, if you wanted to host your company's website, you'd have to buy a server, wait for it to be delivered, install the OS and services, and manage updates. Virtual machines have made this all much easier to manage, but this can still be costly. This is where Docker comes in. In this course, Managing Docker Containers on AWS with the GUI, you will gain the ability to publish Docker images using AWS. First, you will learn how to create and manage a cluster using Elastic Container Service (ECS). Next, you will discover Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR). Finally, you will explore how to push, pull, and tag Docker images inside your repository. When you’re finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of working with Docker images needed to successfully manage Docker containers in AWS.
