Frequently asked questions

Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that helps you to more efficiently deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications. It deeply integrates with the AWS environment to provide an easy-to-use solution for running container workloads in the cloud and on premises with advanced security features using Amazon ECS Anywhere.

This short course is designed for freshers, AWS Developers, Software Engineers, AWS solution architects, DevOps Engineer and IT professionals seeking to enhance their containerization skills.

Prior experience with Docker, and AWS is beneficial but not required for this course.

This course covers the latest features of ECS such as:

1. Integration with AWS Fargate: ECS has integrated with AWS Fargate to simplify the management of container workloads, allowing you to run containers without managing the underlying infrastructure.

2. Capacity Providers: ECS introduced capacity providers to allow you to define a strategy for deploying tasks across multiple Auto Scaling groups. This helps in managing the placement and scaling of containers.

3. ECS Anywhere: AWS ECS Anywhere extends ECS to run containers on your own on-premises hardware or other cloud providers, providing a consistent way to manage containers across different environments.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
