Container Services (ECS and EKS)
Description
Comprehensive understanding of AWS container services including ECS, EKS, Fargate, and container orchestration for scalable containerized applications.
Learning Objectives
Learners will master container orchestration using ECS and EKS including containerizing applications, deploying and managing ECS services, implementing EKS clusters, using Fargate for serverless containers, configuring service discovery and load balancing, implementing container security best practices, and designing microservices architectures using container services.
