Amazon EKS Starter: Docker on AWS EKS with Kubernetes
Course 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 fully handled by AWS. You will have more time and fun deploying your own applications the same native Kubernetes way you've been knowing all along, on the cloud provider you love... AWS!

[Jan 2020 Update]: Added 3 lectures on setting up and using AWS Fargate on EKS. Happy learning!
[Nov 2019 Update]: Added lectures on setting up EKS using eksctl, RBAC permissions for IAM users, cluster autoscaler, monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, and integration with Cloudwatch for control plane logging and container insights metrics. Happy learning!
Have you learned Kubernetes before but never got the chance to properly try out Amazon EKS? This course is for you!
In this course, we are going to 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 setup kubectl properly to access your cluster
how EKS works under the hood and its integrations with AWS
how to setup 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
