Description
This course is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud professionals who want to quickly gain practical Kubernetes skills. We'll take a streamlined, hands-on approach to mastering essential infrastructure and Kubernetes concepts, coding your infrastructure with Terraform, and deploying real-world applications on Amazon EKS, the leading managed Kubernetes service.
Concise Course Overview:
AWS EKS Fundamentals & Terraform: Understand the core components of AWS infrastructure needed for Kubernetes and learn to define and manage it with Terraform. We'll also introduce the microservices-based project you'll be building throughout the course.
Infrastructure as Code with Terraform: Learn how to use Terraform to create and manage your AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), the foundation for your EKS cluster.
EKS Cluster Deployment with Terraform: Provision and configure your Kubernetes cluster on EKS, using Terraform to automate the process.
Containerize and Deploy a Static Website: Package a basic website into a Docker container, test it, and deploy it to your Kubernetes cluster.
Database Integration with RDS and Terraform: Use Terraform to set up an RDS MySQL database and connect it to your application running in Kubernetes.
Deploy an API Application: Containerize and deploy a more complex API application that interacts with your RDS database.
Traffic Management: Learn to control and direct traffic to your applications using Amazon Load Balancer and Kubernetes Ingress.
Kubernetes Configuration: Explore ConfigMaps and Secrets for managing application configurations and sensitive data.
Private Container Registries: Securely store and manage your Docker images in private registries, such as AWS ECR.
By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to build, deploy, and manage containerized applications on Kubernetes using AWS EKS, while also gaining valuable skills in cloud infrastructure automation with Terraform.
Who this course is for:
- DevOps Professionals: If you're a DevOps Professional with experience in creating CI/CD pipelines and have a good understanding of high level Cloud Infrastructure and setup, this course will help you gain expertise in Kubernetes and Infrastructure Coding with Terraform on AWS.
