Overview

Learn container management and orchestration for Kubernetes using Amazon EKS.

Amazon EKS makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane. In this three-day AWS-RCAEKS: Running Containers on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) course, attendees will:

  • learn container management and orchestration for Kubernetes using Amazon EKS
  • build an Amazon EKS cluster, configure the environment, deploy the cluster, and add applications to your cluster
  • manage container images using Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
  • learn how to automate application deployment. In addition, you will deploy applications using CI/CD tools.
  • review how to monitor and scale your environment by using metrics, logging, tracing, and horizontal/vertical scaling
  • learn how to design and manage a large container environment for efficiency, cost, and resiliency
  • configure AWS networking services to support the cluster and learn how to secure your Amazon EKS environment

Trainocate is an AWS Authorized Training Partner as well as the AWS Global Training Partner of the Year 2022-2025 is trusted by AWS to offer, deliver, and/or incorporate official AWS Training, including classroom and digital offerings.

Whether your team prefers to learn from live instructors, on-demand courses, or both, ATPs offer a breadth of AWS Training options for learners of all levels.

Skills Covered

In this AWS certified course, you will learn to:

  • 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
  • Automate and deploy applications; examine automation tools and pipelines; and create a GitOps pipeline using WeaveFlux
  • Collect monitoring data through metrics, logs, and tracing with AWS X-Ray and identify metrics for performance tuning
  • Review scenarios where bottlenecks require the best scaling approach using horizontal or vertical scaling
  • Assess the tradeoffs between efficiency, resiliency, and cost—along with the impact of tuning one instead of the other
  • Describe and outline a holistic, iterative approach to optimizing your environment, designing for cost, efficiency, and resiliency
  • Configure AWS networking services to support the cluster and describe how EKS/Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) functions simplify inter-node communications
  • Describe the function of the VPC Container Network Interface (CNI) and review the benefits of a service mesh
  • Upgrade your Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, and third-party tools
