Module Overview

Modern applications are often packaged as containers or deployed using high-level platforms that simplify server management even further than EC2. In this module, we explore the container landscape and developer-focused deployment tools.

  1. Containers on AWS: Understanding ECS, EKS, and Fargate.
  2. App Platforms: High-level deployment with Elastic Beanstalk and App Runner.
  3. Serverless Functions: A deeper look at AWS Lambda and serverless patterns.

By the end of this module, you'll understand the spectrum of compute options from manual server management to fully automated code execution.
