AWS Mastery: Docker Deep Dive

Explore how Docker containers package apps into portable units, enabling scalable microservices and cloud migration with Docker images, Docker Hub, and AWS services like ECS, EKS, and Fargate.

Explore Amazon X and its ECS launch types, including EC2 with the ECS agent and Fargate, and compare task roles, load balancers, and Amazon EFS storage.

Explore hands-on ECS cluster setup with Fargate and EC2 options, auto scaling group, capacity providers including Fargate, Fargate Spot, and Alb browser, and register container instances across three availability zones.

Create an ECS service on Fargate using the Nginx demos hello task definition, configure an application load balancer with a target group, then scale from one to three tasks.

Configure ecs service auto scaling with cpu, memory, ram, alb metrics, using target tracking, step, or scheduled scaling. Explore scaling ecs tasks and ec2 instances via auto scaling groups.

Discover serverless architectures with AWS ECS on Fargate, using EventBridge to trigger tasks that fetch S3 uploads and store results in DynamoDB.

Halt the service by setting the desired task count to zero, then delete service to trigger CloudFormation and remove ECS stack, load balancer, security group, target groups, and cluster.

Explore Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) to store and manage Docker images, with ECS integration. Leverage features like vulnerability scanning, versioning, tags, lifecycle management, and S3-backed storage with IAM access.

Compare Amazon ECS and EKS on AWS, covering EC2 and Fargate launch modes, Kubernetes API compatibility, and storage options like EBS and EFS.

Watch a hands-on demonstration of Amazon EKS, create a demo cluster on AWS, select the default Kubernetes version, and set up a service role in IAM.

Deploy web apps and APIs quickly with AWS App Runner, a managed platform that builds from code or a container image and handles automatic scaling, health checks, and secure deployment.

Use app2container, a CLI tool, to migrate Java and .NET apps to Docker. Create CloudFormation templates, store images in ECR, deploy to ECS, EKS, or App Runner.

Discover a fully serverless, globally scalable website architecture for mylife.com, combining static content on S3 with CloudFront, a REST API via API gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, welcome emails, and thumbnails.

Build a serverless to-do list app with api gateway, lambda, and dynamodb. Authenticate via Cognito, manage per-user S3 data, and use Dax caching for high read throughput.

Explore microservices architecture, where independently designed services communicate via rest apis, scale autonomously, and use distinct data stores across serverless and traditional patterns.

The lecture explains offloading software update distribution with CloudFront edge caching to reduce CPU load and costs, while preserving the existing EC2, ELB, ASG, and EFS architecture.

Explore AWS event processing options, including SQS with Lambda, dead-letter queues, FIFO ordering, and fanout with SNS; compare EventBridge, S3 event notifications, and API Gateway integrations.

Assess caching strategies on AWS, balancing edge and application caches. Leverage CloudFront, API Gateway, Redis, Memcached, and DAX to reduce latency and database load.

Explore layered IP blocking in AWS using network ACLs, security groups, and optional firewall software, then apply controls at ALB, NLB, CloudFront, and WAF for enhanced security.

Explore high performance computing on AWS, leveraging Direct Connect, scalable EC2 instances, and MPI workloads with EFA and ENA for efficient, cost-effective HPC.
