Description
Are you ready to masterAmazon ECS (Elastic Container Service)and take yourDevOps careerto the next level? This course is a complete, hands-on guide to deploying, scaling, and managingcontainerized applicationson  Amazon Web ServicesAWSusingDocker,ECS on EC2, andECS Fargate.

You’ll start with thebasics of Docker and containers, then dive deep intoECS clusters, tasks, services, networking modes, IAM roles, service discovery, and Service Connect. We’ll cover how to integrate ECS withElastic Load Balancers (ALB/NLB),Amazon VPC networking, andAWS Systems Managerfor secure operations.

The course also includes AWSCI/CD pipelines for ECSusingCodePipeline, CodeBuild, Jenkins, and GitLab, so you can automate deployments just like real-world DevOps teams. You’ll learnmonitoring with CloudWatch,logging with AWS Logs, andsecurity best practices with IAM and Secrets Manager.

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

Build and runDocker imageson ECS (EC2 & Fargate).

Designscalable container workloadswith auto scaling and task placement strategies.

ImplementDevOps workflowswithCI/CD pipelinesfor ECS.

Manage ECS services withnetworking, discovery, and secure integrations.

Confidently useECS in production environmentsas a DevOps engineer.

Whether you’re preparing for aDevOps engineer role, advancing yourAWS cloud skills, or masteringcontainer orchestration with ECS, this course is your ultimate step-by-step guide.
