  • Describe the principles of Amazon EKS and Kubernetes and the effects of containers on workflows.
  • By choosing the appropriate computational resources to support worker nodes, construct an Amazon EKS cluster.
  • To secure your environment, utilize Kubernetes Role Based Access Control (RBAC) authorization with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication.
  • Install a program on the cluster. Upload container images to Amazon ECR, then use IAM policies to control access.
  • Utilize pipelines and automated methods to deploy apps. Use WeaveFlux to construct a GitOps pipeline.
  • To find metrics for performance optimization, utilize AWS X-Ray to gather monitoring data from metrics, logs, and tracing. Examine situations when bottlenecks call for the optimal horizontal or vertical growth strategy.
  • Analyze the trade-offs between cost, resilience, and efficiency, as well as the effects of prioritizing one over the others. Describe and sketch a comprehensive, iterative strategy for improving your surroundings—plan with cost, effectiveness, and resilience in mind.
  • AWS networking services should be configured to accommodate the cluster. Describe the support and ease of inter-node communication provided by Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for Amazon EKS clusters. Describe the VPC Container Network Interface\’s purpose (CNI). Look at the advantages of a service mesh.
  • Upgrade Amazon EKS, Kubernetes, and other technologies.
  • Anyone who will handle container orchestration on the AWS Cloud, such as systems administrators and DevOps engineers
  • Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service completed (EKS) Primer
  • AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials certification obtained (or equivalent real-world experience)
  • Basic familiarity with Linux administration
  • Basic knowledge of network management
  • Basic understanding of micro-services and Containers
