Containerized App Deployment with Docker and ECS

Moving from local development to a live production environment is a critical step in the software lifecycle. This course provides a clear path for developers to bridge that gap using modern containerization and cloud orchestration. You will transition from writing code to managing live deployments, gaining the skills to package applications efficiently and manage them at scale in the cloud. * Understand the fundamental concepts of containerization, images, and registries * Build and configure Docker containers for consistent environments across development and production * Manage container images using ECR to ensure secure and reliable storage * Configure ECS clusters, task definitions, and services for automated application orchestration * Implement basic Infrastructure as Code principles to streamline cloud resource management * Apply modern observability practices to monitor container health and performance The material begins with foundational definitions of container technology and key terminology before moving into the practical configuration of cloud services and live deployment workflows. You will read through detailed explanations and apply your knowledge through written exercises. This course is designed for beginners and developers who are new to cloud deployment and want a structured, text-based introduction to container orchestration. No prior experience with cloud infrastructure is required. Start your journey into cloud-native application deployment today.
