Docker has become a fan favorite because it saves a ton of time when setting up development environments. Creating applications for multiple operating systems require working with multiple different environments, which is something you can save money and time on by using Docker, which allows you to deploy virtual environments on different operating systems.
If you’ve every heard the term “well, it worked on my machine!”, you definitely know the horror of having apps crash when running on different versions or operating systems. Docker works wonders when it comes to this! Now combine this brilliant technology with AWS, and you get an even more powerful working environment.
Amazon’s experience with large and scalable infrastructures can definitely help when it comes to building large scale apps and websites. The bigger your apps, the better AWS can make it! With its growing popularity, learning Docker and AWS has become a great way to forge ahead in your career.
If you ever wanted to learn about scaling your web applications with Docker or even simply learning about Amazon Web Services (AWS), then this is a great course for you!
The main component in this course is to focus on learning exactly how you can scale your web applications using Docker and AWS. The course will focus majorly on the Amazon ECS, Amazon’s EC2 Container Service and how it will manage a cluster of Docker containers.
We will start by becoming familiar with AWS and then performing a deep dive on Amazon ECS, where you'll learn everything there is to know about it. You'll also get familiar with Amazon ECR which is Amazon's private Docker registry. From there, you will focus on Dockerizing a multi-service Ruby on Rails application, as well as profiling that application with Docker and other open source tools.
If you have no previous experience with Ruby on Rails or you have no interest in learning Ruby on Rails, then you can simply skip the development section and create a Docker image, by using a few simple commands (mentioned within the course).
The course will also include taking the knowledge learned from previous sections and deploying the application to production on AWS in a fault tolerant way. As well as, how to calculate costs for a real life project hosted on AWS and load balance the web application so you can scale out to as many hosts as you need.
The entire course is extremely hands-on and there is so much that you’ll actually learn through this. The best part about this course ais the interactive labs, that will show you how to actually start building and deploying with Docker and also working with AWS.
Let’s take a look at what you will learn in this course:
- You'll learn how to get your development environment set up to run Docker. Windows, Mac and Linux users will be able to follow along.
- You'll learn what Amazon ECS is and how it differs from similar services.
- You'll learn everything there is to know about Amazon ECS.
- You'll learn how to create your own private Docker Registry with Amazon ECR.
- You'll gain general AWS knowledge on identity and access management, security groups, EC2, S3, ELB, RDS, ElastiCache and more.
- You'll learn how to Dockerize a Ruby on Rails web application.
- You'll learn how to profile your applications with Docker.
- You'll learn how to price out a project on AWS at various traffic loads.
- You'll learn how to load balance your web application on AWS.
- You'll learn how to wire up a custom domain to your load balanced web app.
- You'll learn how to create and use a FREE SSL certificate.
With over 6 hours of content divided into 60 systematic lecture, at the end of this course, you will not only learn the theoretical applications of Docker and AWS, but also how to actually work with Docker and scale your apps. You will also be eligible to apply for jobs in this sphere.
