Course Title: Kubernetes on AWS EKS: Hands-On Get Started for Dev & DevOps

Headline: Master AWS, Kubernetes, EKS, Docker, & Microservices with Terraform and IaC for a Strong DevOps & Cloud Engineering Foundation 🚀

Course Description:

Are you ready to dive into the world of container orchestration and cloud engineering? Our comprehensive course is tailored for Developers, DevOps, and Cloud Engineers who wish to swiftly master the essentials of AWS, Kubernetes (K8S), Docker, and Microservices on Kubernetes. With a focus on hands-on, practical learning, you'll gain invaluable experience by creating a robust Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS, deploying Docker containers, and coding your Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform—the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that streamlines cloud infrastructure provisioning.

📚 Key Features of the Course:

1. AWS Essentials for Kubernetes EKS:

   • Understand the AWS infrastructure prerequisites, both essential and specific to running Kubernetes on EKS.
   • Get an overview of our demo project, which focuses on Microservices architecture.

2. Infrastructure as Code with Terraform:

   • Craft a scalable AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using Terraform, moving away from the manual setup via the AWS Management Console.

3. Establishing an EKS Kubernetes Cluster:

   • Use Terraform to define and deploy an Amazon EKS cluster, making your infrastructure provisioning repeatable and maintainable.

4. Deploying a Nginx Static Website as a Container:

   • Test your Nginx application locally for confidence before moving it to Kubernetes.

5. Setting Up an RDS MySQL Database Instance with Terraform:

   • Integrate a database into one of the microservices, specifically the API application, enhancing its functionality and data management capabilities.

6. Deploying the API Application as a Container in Kubernetes:

   • Utilize the AWS RDS database within your Kubernetes deployment.

7. Configuring Amazon Load Balancer (ALB) and Kubernetes Ingress:

   • Learn how to manage and route traffic to your applications effectively with ALB and Kubernetes Ingress.

8. Deploying Final Container Applications & Configuring Routes:

   • Deploy your final container application and add a new route in the Ingress to ensure your services are accessible.

9. Understanding Kubernetes ConfigMaps and Secrets:

   • Explore the powerful features of Kubernetes, including managing configurations and secrets securely.

10. Working with Docker Container Images from Private Registries:

    • Learn to use private registries like AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) for storing your Docker images.
