Containerization on AWS: Deploy and Manage Applications in the Cloud

Modern application deployment relies heavily on containers to ensure consistency from development to production. AWS provides some of the most robust services for managing these containers, but getting started can feel overwhelming. This text-based course guides you through the core concepts of cloud containerization, helping you transition from local development to deploying scalable, production-ready applications in the cloud. You will gain a clear understanding of container orchestration, serverless execution, and modern cloud deployment workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational principles of containerization and how Docker integrates with AWS. - Configure container registries using Elastic Container Registry to securely store your images. - Deploy applications using Elastic Container Service with both EC2 and serverless Fargate launch types. - Explore Kubernetes on AWS by setting up and managing clusters with Elastic Kubernetes Service. - Implement modern observability and logging practices to monitor your containerized applications. - Apply basic infrastructure-as-code concepts to automate container deployments safely. The course begins with foundational definitions of containers, virtual machines, and cloud orchestration. From there, you will read through step-by-step written guides and configuration examples that show you how to set up, secure, and scale your containers in the AWS ecosystem. This course is designed for beginner developers, aspiring DevOps engineers, and system administrators who are new to AWS container services. No prior containerization experience is required.
