Look inside
You’re the lead DevOps engineer in an IT department with about 60 engineers. Your director wants to transition the company from a traditional cloud server to containerization while minimizing operational workload. Impressed with AWS Fargate’s ability to handle containers without managing servers, he’s tasked you with deploying a pilot project using Fargate. You’ll create a proof-of-concept by running an NGINX image on AWS Fargate. To ensure that the infrastructure meets the spec of being reusable as code, you’ll use AWS CDK along with Python as your programming language. When you’re finished, you’ll have investigated, evaluated, and deployed an NGINX container along with all the required resources into AWS Fargate.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
