Kubernetes and EKS Foundations for Cloud Developers

Deploying, managing, and scaling application containers can feel overwhelming without a structured approach. This text-based course guides you step-by-step through container orchestration, taking you from fundamental concepts to running production-ready workloads on Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). You will build a solid theoretical foundation before moving into practical configuration. By the end of this course, you will understand how to orchestrate applications, manage cloud networking, and maintain highly available containerized systems. What you will learn: Understand core Kubernetes architecture, including Pods, Services, Deployments, and Namespaces; Configure and manage EKS clusters using modern cloud infrastructure practices; Deploy scalable applications and manage container state and persistent storage; Apply secure configurations using role-based access control and network policies; Monitor cluster health and troubleshoot common deployment errors. We begin with essential container concepts and command-line tools before progressing to multi-node setups, storage management, and cloud integration. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and cloud beginners who want a clear, conceptual path into container orchestration without any prior Kubernetes experience.
