Container Hero

Kubernetes has become one of the standard ways to deploy and operate complex applications. It lets you dynamically scale services to meet demand and roll out updates without disruption, and it encourages good design patterns for architecting distributed systems in a resilient way. As someone who has been in the container and cloud-native space for quite a few years, I’m a fan of this approach.
For many people, “cloud” is practically synonymous with AWS, and for this guide, I’ve selected re:Invent sessions that explore approaches to running cloud-native workloads on AWS. The guide is divided into four sections:
- Understanding whether the managed Kubernetes service Amazon EKS is right for you
- Day 2 operations: how to manage, scale, and troubleshoot as your Kubernetes use grows
- Building and storing container images, which is relevant even if you decide against using Kubernetes in favor of other container approaches like Amazon ECS or AWS Fargate
- Exploring your choices for the underlying compute that will run your containerized applications
Let’s take a look at my session picks!
