What's inside

Syllabus

Containers in AWS

Welcome to Week 1 of the AWS: Containerization course. This week, we will be introduced to containers and container registries in AWS. We will explore ECS templates, tasks, services and its securiy aspects. By the end of the week, we should be able to integrate container concepts with other AWS services for better performance.

Container Orchestration in AWS

Welcome to Week 2 of the AWS: Containerization course. This week, we will be introduced to container orchestration concept used in AWS. Amazon EKS is a managed Kubernetes service to run Kubernetes in the AWS cloud and on-premises data centers. We will also explore auto-scaling feature of Amazon EKS. By the end of the week, we should have a good understanding of containers and contianers orachestration with their security best practices.

Modernizing web applications (AWS App2Container)

Welcome to Week 3 of the AWS: Containerization course. This week, we will be introduced to a command line tool use for migrating and modernizing existing web applications into container format. By the end of the week, we should have a good understanding of how to effectively modernize web applications.
