Course Description
Learn to deploy Docker at scale in about 6 hours
Looking to scale your web applications with Docker? How about gaining heaps of practical knowledge about working with Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Prepare to get excited about this course!
AWS has over a million customers, some of which are the most popular websites in the world. You can be sure that AWS will be a great fit for your web application regardless of what scale you're running at.
One awesome thing about using AWS is that a ton of companies are hiring people who have experience with it. All of the knowledge you gain from this course can be used to apply for DevOps or cloud computing positions.
The main AWS component that you'll learn about in this course is Amazon ECS, which is the Amazon EC2 Container Service. It's Amazon's take on how to manage a cluster of Docker containers.
The first section of this course will concentrate on getting familiar with AWS and then performing a deep dive on Amazon ECS where you'll learn everything there is to know about it. You'll also get familiar with Amazon ECR which is Amazon's private Docker registry.
During this deep dive there will be plenty of guided labs to get your hands dirty.
The second section of this course will be all about Dockerizing a multi-service Ruby on Rails application, as well as profiling that application with Docker and other open source tools.
If you're not a developer or have no intentions of using Ruby on Rails that's fine because you can skip the development section. The only thing you'll have to do is build the Docker image, which will be as simple as running a few commands.
The third section of this course will be taking the knowledge learned from previous sections and deploying the application to production on AWS in a fault tolerant way.
You'll learn how to calculate costs for a real life project hosted on AWS and load balance the web application so you can scale out to as many hosts as you need.
Along the way you'll learn about many other AWS resources and also learn how to hook up a domain name to a load balancer and secure it with a free SSL certificate.
This entire course is very hands on, with just enough theory to understand the main goal -- which is to get you comfortable scaling your web apps with Docker on AWS.
"Excellent teacher and great material - easy to follow and informative. I especially like the hands-on labs."

Nick Janetakis
Hi, I'm Nick and I've been a self taughtsoftware developer for about 20 years.
I'm also a Docker Captain, which means that Docker personally reached out to me to join their team as a trusted content provider and community leader.
Over the years I've worked as a consultant doing contract work for various clients while alsohacking away on my own projects because it's what I love to do.
All of my courses have been created from experience I've gained while being in the trenches and figuring out things through real world experience.
