Welcome to the EKS Developers Workshop for Python

Welcome to the EKS Developers Workshop, a technical deep-dive into refactoring applications for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

Who Is This Workshop For?​

This workshop is tailored for developers that want to refactor an application for containers and Kubernetes environments using EKS. It's specifically designed to be Kubernetes beginner-friendly and particularly beneficial for those who:

  • Need visibility of the entire Kubernetes lifecycle, from refactoring containers, to Kubernetes integrations on Amazon EKS.
  • Have a foundational understanding of container technologies and seek to increase their knowledge of Kubernetes-based application deployments.
  • Aim to transition traditional applications to cloud-native architectures, particularly within the AWS ecosystem.

What You Will Learn​

  • Application Refactoring: Learn how to apply The Twelve-Factor App methodologies to refactor applications for containers and Kubernetes.

  • Containerization Techniques: Master the creation and management of Docker containers, integrate Amazon ECR with Docker Compose, and handle multi-architecture containers.

  • Kubernetes Deployment: Learn how to deploy your application to a local minikube cluster, including securing workloads with Kubernetes secrets.

  • Amazon EKS Deployment: Build your skills deploying Kubernetes workloads in production on Amazon EKS, integrating with AWS services like AWS Secrets Manager and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL.

How to Participate in the Workshop​

This workshop offers a self-paced, comprehensive guide through the entire Kubernetes lifecycle. From creating multi-architecture container images, to understanding Kubernetes, to integrating with Amazon EKS and other AWS services, this workshop is a continuous, end-to-end exploration. Each chapter is designed to build upon the previous, ensuring a cohesive learning experience.

To get started with the workshop:

  • In Your Own Account: This option allows for a personalized and hands-on experience, using your AWS account to create resources.
  • At an AWS Event: Engage in a more guided and structured learning environment at an AWS Event using AWS Workshop Studio platform, ideal for those who prefer collaborative learning sessions.

This workshop has an approximate duration of 4 hours.
