Course Description

There's no denying that Kubernetes has now become the de-facto industry standard for container orchestration - and Amazon EKS continues to rise in popularity as the most adopted managed Kubernetes service in the cloud .
Welcome to this course on Amazon EKS - the only course you need to learn in order to provision your managed Kubernetes cluster, run your containerized applications on it, and tap into the eco-system of allied tools and technologies supporting it.

I have distilled my professional experience of using Amazon EKS in a real-world large-scale enterprise-grade project for over 1 year into this particular course so that you can benefit from it without having to spend countless hours going through the hoops.

Really enjoyed this class and would recommended to anybody wanting to know more about EKS. Great job Dhiman." - Ed Academio, Student
"It is good course for EKS if you understand the fundamental of Kubernetes. Instructor has very good knowledge about topics." - Jitendra Singh, Student

Rápido e Objetivo!

By Ravi Asthana

I found this course very useful. It's a short course but very informative. We are soon going to bring in AWS EKS in our organization and this course has definitely helped in understanding how to use EKS, integrate it with other AWS services as well as useful opensource projects that can be very useful.

I do however request the instructor to go a little slow when he is configuring various AWS services and maybe use some slides and flows to explain what is going on rather than just quickly explaining verbally.

However, the course is great and I recommend it to anyone at the beginner level with EKS to very quickly familiarise with the service and start using it.

By Eric Hausig

Very concise and easy to follow. Good springboard for more advanced topics.

By Corey E Haggarty

Great hands on experience with EKS through this course! I've been searching for good documentation online and hadn't found anything until taking this course.
