Details
This series of talks and hands-on workshops around the concept of "AWS cloud-native modern applications" introduces AWS cloud platform in that light. Starting with the core building blocks of modernizing traditional applications, and how to capitalize on AWS services and capabilities to build a better resilient, reliable application with cloud-native design in mind.
It's 2021. There is a need to find ways to speed up the process of deploying, scaling, and automating our applications, also enable developers and operations teams "DevOps" to collaborate effectively, work efficiently, save resources, and solve the matrix from Hell problems. The magic word here is Containers. This is a pragmatic hands-on series of workshops to introduce members to AWS container workloads focusing on the fundamentals and where to start, AWS Containers 101 workshop.

Building Containers 102 Lab
In this hands-on lab you will learn how to build containers for different applications. After a short introduction, each student will open a pre-configured Gitpod workspace and build container images for 3 applications: one Go app, one Python app, and a React app! Once an image is built, we will push the image to Amazon Elastic Container Registry. For extra credit, we will also inspect the image we built. No previous experience with Docker, Go, Python, React, or Javascript is required!
This will be a live and guided workshop, leveraging Zoom, Slack, and Gitpod.
Requirements:
- GitHub account
- Gitpod account (can be created instantly)
- An active AWS account (if you don’t have an AWS account, you can do the first half of the workshop)
Keywords:
- AWS, ECR, Amazon Elastic Container Registry, Github Container Registry, Dockerhub, Quay
- Workshop, Interactive, Live, Guided
- Docker, OCI, Containerd, Buildkit, GitHub Actions

Application Modernization with Amazon EKS
In this session, we will explore the popular workload manager and scheduler Kubernetes. Amazon managed Kubernetes service, Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) takes care of the heavy-lifting and lets one focus on managing the containerized workloads. EKS, however, still gives you the flexibility and choice where to run, and how to efficiently run your data-plane that hosts your workloads. In this session, we cover what you need to know to get your application up and running with Kubernetes on AWS. We show how Amazon EKS makes deploying Kubernetes on AWS simple and scalable.
Agenda:
- Review the general Kubernetes architecture and relate to EKS
- How to set up and provision your Kubernetes cluster using console and eksctl.
- Discuss the important abstractions that developers use to map their traditional application into any kubernetes platform.
- How to deploy software efficiently, while sustaining reliable and scalable applications.
- Deploy your first microservices on EKS
- EKS possible development deployment workflow
Keywords:
- EKS-Distro, EKS-Anywhere
- Fargate, data plane
- YAML, Helm, Gitops, Operators
- Pod, Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, Secret
