Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Understand the architecture and key components of Amazon ECS, including clusters, tasks, and services.
Create and manage ECS clusters and deploy containerized applications using ECS on Amazon EC2 instances or AWS Fargate (serverless containers).
Implement service discovery, load balancing, and auto-scaling for ECS-based applications.
Manage containerized microservices with ECS and orchestrate container networking, storage, and security.
Use Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry) to securely store and manage Docker images for ECS deployments.
Automate deployment and scaling of containerized applications using ECS with AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild.
Configure ECS to integrate with other AWS services such as AWS CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, and AWS IAM for monitoring, logging, and security management.
Implement best practices for securing containers and ECS tasks, including IAM roles, security groups, and VPC configuration.
Optimize container resource management with ECS task definitions, CPU, and memory configurations.
Troubleshoot and monitor ECS-based applications with logging, metrics, and debugging tools to ensure performance and reliability.
