Running Containers with Amazon EKS Course Overview

In this course, you will learn how to use Amazon EKS to manage and orchestrate containers with
Kubernetes. With Amazon EKS you can run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and
maintain your own Kubernetes control plane. You will manage container images using Amazon Elastic
Container Registry (Amazon ECR) and learn how to automate application deployment. You will deploy
applications using continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) tools. You will learn how to monitor and
scale your environment by using metrics, logging, tracing, and horizontal and vertical scaling. You will
also manage storage for your containerized applications, configure AWS networking services to support
the cluster and learn how to secure your Amazon EKS environment.

After completing Running Containers with Amazon EKS Course, students will be able to

  • Review and examine containers, Kubernetes and Amazon EKS fundamentals and the impact of containers on workflows.
  • Build an Amazon EKS cluster by selecting the correct compute resources to support worker nodes.
  • Secure your environment with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication by creating an Amazon EKS service role for your cluster
  • Deploy an application on the cluster. Publish container images to ECR and secure access via IAM policy.
  • Automate and deploy applications, examine automation tools and pipelines. Create a GitOps pipeline using WeaveFlux.
  • Collect monitoring data through metrics, logs, tracing with AWS X-Ray and identify metrics for performance tuning. Review scenarios where bottlenecks require the best scaling approach using
  • Horizontal or Vertical scaling.
  • Assess the tradeoffs between efficiency, resiliency, and cost and impact for tuning one over the other. Describe and outline a holistic, iterative approach to optimizing your environment. Design for cost, efficiency, and resiliency.
  • Configure the AWS networking services to support the cluster. Describe how EKS/Amazon Virtual
  • Private Cloud (VPC) functions and simplifies inter-node communications. Describe the function of
  • VPC Container Network Interface (CNI). Review the benefits of a service mesh.
  • Upgrade your Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, and third-party tools.
