Description
Amazon EKS simplifies the process of running Kubernetes on AWS by eliminating the need for building, managing and maintaining your own Kubernetes control plane. In the course focused on Amazon EKS for Kubernetes container management and orchestration, you will gain valuable insights and skills.
Throughout the course, you will:
Create an Amazon EKS cluster and configure the necessary environment to support it
Deploy the cluster and learn how to incorporate applications into it
Gain knowledge on automating application deployment and leveraging the capabilities of Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) for efficient container image management
Explore CI/CD techniques for application releases, enabling streamlined and automated deployment processes
In addition to container management, the course covers essential aspects of monitoring and scaling your environment. You will learn how to effectively utilise metrics, logging, tracing, and both horizontal and vertical scaling to monitor and scale your Kubernetes cluster. Emphasis will be placed on designing for efficiency, affordability, and resilience, empowering you to create and maintain a robust container ecosystem.

Deliverables
Describe the principles of Amazon EKS and Kubernetes and the effects of containers on workflows
By choosing the appropriate computational resources to support worker nodes, construct an Amazon EKS cluster
To secure your environment, utilise Kubernetes Role Based Access Control (RBAC) authorization with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication
Install a program on the cluster, upload container images to Amazon ECR, then use IAM policies to control access
Utilise pipelines and automated methods to deploy apps
Use WeaveFlux to construct a GitOps pipeline
To find metrics for performance optimisation, utilise AWS X-Ray to gather monitoring data from metrics, logs, and tracing
