3 AWS Workshops You Didn’t Know Existed
AWS has a ton of documentation, labs, examples, etc. So much so that it is difficult to find the best material to follow. Here are some exceptional workshops catered to helping you learn.
EKS Workshop
You can find this workshop here. It covers:
- Deployments
- Health checks
- Dashboards
- Exposing services
- Deploying Jenkins
- CI/CD Pipelines
- X-Ray
- Service Meshes
- Tons more!
These workshops are a huge hidden gem of AWS and I am shocked that I didn’t know about them earlier.
ECS Workshop
This one can be found here.
This I actually completed just yesterday so I know a bit more about this one. For this one I setup an application using ECS on Fargate. It creates a frontend (node.js I believe), then a back end. Then you end up scaling both up all the while seeing everything update in a map the the app creates. Really awesome stuff!
A few other things I didn’t get into, but can be done here are:
- Capacity providers
- Blue/Green deployments
- Stateful workloads
On to the next!
EC2 Spot Workshop
Alrighty, you can find this one here.
It will cover these subjects and more:
- Auto scaling
- Launching spot instances
- SageMaker
- Spot Instances with EKS
- CI/CD
This one I have not done at all yet, but it definitely looks interesting. Based on my experience with these workshops I would highly suggest you check it out.
Conclusion
This was a rather short article, but I really wanted to take a few minutes to share these workshops. More people need to know about them and use them. My experience with the ECS workshop was phenomenal. Definitely check out that one.
