Getting started with Amazon Elastic Container Service

In this course, you will be introduced to Amazon Elastic Container Service or Amazon ECS – the AWS service that helps you run containerized applications in production. The course will begin with a quick review of containers and then will dive into the features and benefits of using Amazon ECS. A demonstration of the service and highlights of different Amazon ECS use cases will also be covered.

This is an introductory course to AWS Fargate, a new AWS service for deploying and managing containers. In this course, we cover how AWS Fargate makes it easier for you to run applications using containers and we walk through an example architecture of AWS Fargate and Amazon ECS so you can better understand how the service works.

In this course we talk about Amazon's container management service, Amazon Elastic Container Service. We cover several use cases regarding Amazon ECS and how it enables you to run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. An overview of its features and the benefits of using Amazon ECS, followed by a brief demonstration of the service, is also covered in this course.

In this course, you will learn how to view configuration information, monitor processes, and gather diagnostic data about Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). You will learn how to use this information to help troubleshoot common issues and provide effective support case details if you need to escalate an issue to Amazon Web Services (AWS) Support.

This course goes beyond the basic concepts and benefits of containerization and teaches you more about the Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). You will learn about the implementation of containers on AWS using ECS and complementary services, such as the Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR). You will also learn about common microservices scenarios.

AWS Copilot is designed for both existing Elastic Container Service (ECS) users, and new ECS users who want to move beyond manual management of lower-level infrastructure, and instead just start thinking about their application and its lifecycle. Copilot creates modern application deployments by default, based on production-ready patterns that include best practices designed by ECS engineers and customers over the years.

In this course, you learn how to make infrastructure choices to support containerized applications running on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) at an enterprise scale. You learn how to scope requirements based on your application, select the best architecture to support your application, and design reusable infrastructure patterns that are secure, performant, and resilient.

In this course, you learn how to manage applications at scale on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). You learn how to select the best method for building an Amazon ECS environment, how to select the best deployment options for your application, and how to manage your application pipelines throughout your applications’ lifecycle.

In this course you learn how to manage applications running at an enterprise scale on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). You learn how to build environments that can scale in or out quickly and safely. You also learn how to differentiate application scaling from infrastructure scaling. Lastly, you learn how to perform testing to identify the best metric for scaling your application.

In this course you learn how to gain observability to your applications running on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). You learn how to collect metrics, logs, and traces at the system and application level. You also learn how to apply the information you gather to identify and correct problems.
