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.
Overview
Take Control of Kubernetes with Amazon EKS – Build Smarter, Deploy Faster, Scale Effortlessly
Running Kubernetes in the cloud shouldn't be hard and with this course, it won't be. Master the ins and outs of Amazon EKS, the enterprise-ready Kubernetes service trusted by top global organizations.
You’ll go from deploying your first cluster to managing secure, observable, and resilient workloads at scale — all while learning best practices for storage, security, and network configuration.
Whether you're modernizing legacy apps or scaling cloud-native workloads, this course gives you the skills to run Kubernetes on AWS like a pro.
