Running Containers on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

Details

Description

Duration: 3 days

This course covers how to use Amazon EKS to run and orchestrate containerized workloads with Kubernetes on AWS, without managing the underlying control plane yourself. Topics include container image management with Amazon ECR, application deployment automation, and CI/CD integration. You will also learn how to monitor and scale your environment using metrics, logging, and tracing, configure AWS networking for your cluster, manage storage for containerized applications, and apply security best practices to your Amazon EKS environment.
