[NEW] Complete Amazon ECS Bootcamp - From Zero to Hero

Explore the four ECS roles—service link role, task execution role, task IAM role, and container instance IAM role—and how they enable secrets access, S3 interactions, and load balancer integration.

Explore the service linked role for ECS, an AWS service role created by ECS that lets ECS call AWS services on your behalf and manage ENI lifecycles and service discovery.

Explore the task execution IAM role for ECS and Fargate, granting agents permissions to pull images from ECR, push CloudWatch logs, and fetch secrets from Secrets Manager or parameter store.

Enable per-task AWS API access by using the task IAM role to supply containers with credentials, isolate permissions, enable audits, and protect credentials from other tasks.

Explore the ecs container instance iam role and the amazon ec2 container service for ec2 role policy, granting ecs polling agent, endpoint register, container instance, ecr, and cloudwatch log permissions.

Explore ECS service auto scaling at the task and infrastructure capacity providers levels, using target tracking, step, and schedule policies driven by CloudWatch CPU and memory metrics.

Learn to configure ECS service auto scaling with target tracking based on average CPU utilization, min 1 and max 3 tasks, and CloudWatch alarms.

Explore how ECS capacity providers drive infrastructure scaling by balancing task and cluster resources with strategies that use weights and bases across on-demand and spot, including Fargate options.

Explore ecs capacity providers and scaling, driven by CloudWatch alarms and the capacity provider reservation metric (m/n × 100), guiding scale out and scale down within auto scaling groups.

Demonstrates configuring and using an ECS capacity provider with auto scaling and CloudWatch alarms to auto-scale a cluster, manage capacity, and place tasks on available instances.

Learn to integrate an application load balancer with an ECS service by creating an ALB, configuring a target group, registering EC2 targets, and applying the health check grace period.

Create an EFS file system, mount it in an ECS task with a proper VPC and security groups, and run nginx to verify EFS integration.

Use vpc endpoints to secure ecs on ec2 by keeping traffic inside the aws network and configuring endpoints for ecs, s3, ecr, secrets manager, and cloudwatch.

Explore how to securely manage database credentials in ECS using Secrets Manager or Systems Manager Parameter Store, including encryption with KMS, IAM controls, and automatic rotation with Lambda.

Demonstrate using secrets manager with ecs by creating a username secret secured with a kms key, referencing its arn in a task definition, and granting task execution role read access.

Learn to enable CloudWatch Container Insights for ECS, explore cluster, task, and service metrics, and understand CPU, memory, and network monitoring through hands-on demos.

Create an ECR repository for WordPress, pull the WordPress image from Docker Hub, tag it, and push it to your private ECR, obtaining the image URI for the task definition.

Create a new WordPress task definition for AWS ECS Fargate on Linux, specify one vcpu and two GB of memory, enable CloudWatch logging, and allocate 30 GB storage.

Create a WordPress ECS service with Fargate, enable a public IP in public subnets, and configure the WordPress task definition with database environment variables for later RDS integration.

Learn how to integrate an application load balancer with a WordPress service on Fargate behind a highly available multi-AZ architecture with EFS.

Connect WordPress on ECS to a mysql-compatible RDS by creating the RDS instance, a WordPress database and user, and configuring container environment variables for host, user, password, and db name.

Celebrate finishing the course, deploy your workloads on ECS, and prepare for ECS interview questions. Receive ongoing support, reviews, mentoring, and updates from the instructor.
