Course Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Sanjeev Thiyagarajan, and I will be your instructor for this lesson.

In this article, we will explore AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) and learn how to deploy containerized applications efficiently. We will start with the fundamentals of ECS, covering:

• An overview of ECS and how it works
• ECS components, including tasks, task definitions, and services
• A comparison of the different launch types and their best-use scenarios

Once you have a solid understanding of ECS concepts, we will move on to practical deployments by building applications on ECS. During this phase, you will learn essential configurations, their purposes, and when to use each option.

Finally, we will cover how to integrate an AWS load balancer to effectively manage traffic for your ECS cluster, ensuring scalability and high availability.

Let's begin our journey into ECS and discover why it is an excellent choice for deploying containerized applications.
