Practical AWS: Containerizing Apps with Docker and Building CI/CD Pipelines

Moving from local development to a reliable cloud environment can feel overwhelming when managing deployments manually. Streamlining this process requires understanding how to bundle applications and automate delivery seamlessly. This text-based course guides you through containerizing your applications with Docker and establishing automated CI/CD pipelines on AWS. You will transition from manual, error-prone deployments to modern, automated release workflows that keep your applications updated and secure. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental concepts of containerization and how Docker isolates application environments. - Configure secure and repeatable Dockerfiles to package your web applications. - Build automated CI/CD pipelines on AWS to test and deploy your code automatically. - Deploy containerized applications to AWS services like ECS using Fargate for serverless container execution. - Apply security best practices for managing environment variables and credentials in AWS. - Monitor pipeline runs and troubleshoot common deployment errors using cloud logs. The course begins with foundational definitions of containers and continuous integration before moving step-by-step through writing configuration files, setting up AWS pipelines, and verifying live deployments. You will read structured explanations, study real-world configuration snippets, and complete practical written exercises. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and technology beginners who want to modernize their deployment workflows. No prior cloud or container experience is required.
