I’ve been study for the Running Containers on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) certification certification by Amazon Training and Certification for Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Through a series of use case scenarios and practical learning, you’ll learn container management and orchestration for Kubernetes using Amazon EKS. You’ll build an Amazon EKS cluster, configure the environment, deploy the cluster, and add applications to your cluster. Also discover how to manage container images using Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and learn how to automate application deployment. In addition, you’ll deploy applications using CI/CD tools. You’ll review how to monitor and scale your environment by using metrics, logging, tracing, and horizontal/vertical scaling. Learn efficiency, cost, and resiliency by designing and managing a large container environment. Lastly, explore configuring AWS networking services to support the cluster and learn how to secure your Amazon EKS environment.

Level: Intermediate

Type: Classroom (virtual and in person)

Length: 3 days

What I learned:

  • 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, then publish container images to ECR and secure access via IAM policy
  • And much more
