COURSE DESCRIPTION

In the “Elastic Container Service (ECS)” module of our “Container Essentials” course series, you will learn about the Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), a cloud service that enables you to efficiently and seamlessly orchestrate your container workloads. During the course of one training day, you will be offered a comprehensive overview of the service, from basic concepts, scaling and data storage to networking and monitoring. Thanks to numerous live demos and practical labs, you can gain real hand-on experience in the cloud.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

In this course, you will learn to:

  • Understand the basics of the Elastic Container Services (ECS)
  • Understand and apply ECS concepts & components
  • Control the scheduling and deployment of container workloads
  • Understand and apply automatic scaling of workloads
  • Know how workloads communicate inside and outside the cluster
  • Know possible solutions for storing container data
  • Be able to monitor ECS clusters and the workloads within them
  • Know the limitations of ECS and be able to compare it with other orchestration tools

INTENDED AUDIENCE

This course is intended for:

  • Individuals looking for a cloud-based container orchestration tool
  • Those who plan to migrate their container workloads to AWS
  • DevOps engineers
