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!

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
