Description

Setting up and maintaining Kubernetes yourself on any cloud provider is painful... but now with Amazon EKS, the management of the Kubernetes control plane is entirely handled by AWS. As a result, you will have more time and fun deploying your own applications the same native Kubernetes way you've known all along, on the cloud provider you love... AWS!

Have you learned Kubernetes before but never got the chance to properly try out Amazon EKS? Then, this course is for you!

In this course, we will explore the features and setup of Amazon EKS alongside many hands-on lectures.

In over 4 hours, you will learn:

how to deploy your EKS cluster using CloudFormation
how to scale your Kubernetes cluster
how to set up kubectl properly to access your cluster
how EKS works under the hood and its integrations with AWS
how to set up administration using the Kubernetes Dashboard
how to deploy a stateless application on EKS and expose it with a public Elastic Load Balancer
how to deploy a stateful application on EKS and bind it with EBS volumes
how to deploy a stateful application (such as WordPress) with EFS network drives
manage your Kubernetes cluster using the AWS CLI and eksctl CLI

---------------------------------

Pre-requisites:

In this course, we do not cover the basics of Kubernetes or AWS, and focus solely on the usage of Amazon EKS.

You need to know

For Kubernetes: Namespaces, Services, Deployments, Volume Claim
For AWS: VPC, Subnets, IAM, EC2, EBS, Load Balancers, Security Groups
For Linux: familiarity with Linux and Shell

And then you can confidently take this course!

---------------------------------

This Course Also Comes With:

Lifetime Access to All Future Updates
A responsive instructor in the Q&A Section
Full downloadable code to reproduce the hands-on on your machine
Udemy Certificate of Completion Ready for Download
A 30-Day "No Questions Asked" Money Back Guarantee!

This course could change how you use Kubernetes in the AWS Cloud.

Learning and getting hands-on on AWS EKS helps you enhance your career opportunities and helps to boost your income. An investment in your career is an investment in yourself. Don’t procrastinate. There is no time like the present to take charge of your job. Take your career to the next level by learning AWS EKS today!

Take the course now, completely risk-free!

Who this course is for:

AWS architects, who want to get ready for using Kubernetes on AWS
Kubernetes users, who are curious how Kubernetes on AWS works
Everyone who is interested in Kubernetes, AWS and how to use those services
