Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.

Modernise your applications with tools from Amazon Web Services


Container technologies are popular with developers as they allow application management at a microservice-level.


On this four-week course you’ll learn exactly what containers are and how to use them to maximise the efficiency of your applications.


Discover how Kubernetes and Docker containers are used with microservices-based applications


Docker and Kubernetes are two popular container technologies designed to enhance application orchestration.


On this course, you’ll delve into their differences and learn how to build and deploy microservices-based applications. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to update and streamline your current systems.


Simplify container management and orchestration using AWS services


Just one application can include hundreds of containerised microservices. AWS has developed a range of tools to help with these challenges to managing your container orchestration efficiently.


You’ll explore Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and AWS Fargate, and receive expert guidance in the use of these tools.


With demos, videos and labs throughout, you’ll gain practical knowledge to effectively optimise your container management.


Collect performance metrics with Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights


Not only will you learn how to deploy AWS Cloud services to improve current processes, you’ll also explore how to gather meaningful data with Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights. Using this data, you’ll be able to adapt your processes for continuous improvement.


By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of what containerised applications are and their uses in Cloud computing. You’ll also be comfortable using a variety of AWS Services that improve the efficiency of your chosen container technology.


This course is designed for developers and DevOps engineers who want to learn more about building and running containerised applications with AWS Container Services.


You will need an AWS account and the exercises in this course will have an associated charge in your AWS account.


Certificate cost may vary. You will be redirected to the host page for cost and payment options.
