DevOps HandsOn Job Prep Course - Master Amazon ECS with Docker, Networking, Service Connect, CI/CD, CodePipeline
Are you ready to master Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) and take your DevOps career to the next level? This course is a complete, hands-on guide to deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications on Amazon Web Services AWS using Docker, ECS on EC2, and ECS Fargate.
You’ll start with the basics of Docker and containers, then dive deep into ECS clusters, tasks, services, networking modes, IAM roles, service discovery, and Service Connect. We’ll cover how to integrate ECS with Elastic Load Balancers (ALB/NLB), Amazon VPC networking, and AWS Systems Manager for secure operations.
The course also includes AWS CI/CD pipelines for ECS using CodePipeline, CodeBuild, Jenkins, and GitLab, so you can automate deployments just like real-world DevOps teams. You’ll learn monitoring with CloudWatch, logging with AWS Logs, and security best practices with IAM and Secrets Manager.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
Build and run Docker images on ECS (EC2 & Fargate).
Design scalable container workloads with auto scaling and task placement strategies.
Implement DevOps workflows with CI/CD pipelines for ECS.
Manage ECS services with networking, discovery, and secure integrations.
Confidently use ECS in production environments as a DevOps engineer.
Whether you’re preparing for a DevOps engineer role, advancing your AWS cloud skills, or mastering container orchestration with ECS, this course is your ultimate step-by-step guide.
