Ultimate EKS Bootcamp by School of DevOps

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course." In the Ultimate EKS Bootcamp, you will master Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), an essential tool for managing Kubernetes clusters on AWS. Whether you’re deploying applications, scaling them dynamically, or securing your infrastructure, this course covers it all. You’ll gain hands-on experience in configuring EKS, managing resources, and optimizing performance for real-world applications. Throughout the course, you’ll start with the fundamentals of EKS, including architecture, networking, and key components such as control planes and data planes. You will progressively dive into more advanced topics, including EKS node setup, microservices deployment, ingress management with ALB, and persistent storage with EBS. The course structure ensures that you not only learn theoretical concepts but also apply them in practical scenarios. You will be guided through setting up EKS clusters, deploying and troubleshooting microservices, and managing persistent storage. As you progress, you'll also explore essential security practices, monitoring, and autoscaling strategies using tools like Cluster Autoscaler and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA). This course is ideal for cloud architects, DevOps engineers, or anyone interested in mastering Kubernetes and EKS. While prior experience with Kubernetes or AWS is not mandatory, familiarity with cloud computing and basic infrastructure concepts will be helpful. The course is designed to be hands-on and suitable for intermediate learners who want to deepen their knowledge in EKS. By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently set up and manage EKS clusters, deploy microservices, configure persistent storage, implement autoscaling solutions, and secure your applications using IAM roles and service accounts.
