Kubernetes Deployment on EKS with Jenkins X

Modern software delivery demands robust orchestration and automated pipelines, yet setting up Kubernetes clusters and continuous integration from scratch can feel overwhelming. This text-based course guides you step-by-step through provisioning a managed Kubernetes environment on AWS and automating your deployments. You will start with foundational cloud concepts, security principles, and cluster architectures before diving into hands-on configuration. By completing this course, you will transition from a beginner to a practitioner capable of deploying and maintaining production-ready containerized workflows on AWS. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of AWS EKS and how managed Kubernetes operates - Configure secure access control and IAM roles for cluster resources - Provision an EKS cluster using modern infrastructure-as-code principles - Deploy Jenkins X to automate continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines - Configure cluster autoscaling to optimize performance and cloud spend - Integrate container registries and manage application secrets securely We begin with essential terminology, AWS permission models, and Kubernetes fundamentals. Next, we walk through the step-by-step configuration of an EKS cluster, followed by installing and configuring Jenkins X to manage your deployment workflows. No prior cloud engineering experience is required, though basic familiarity with command-line tools is helpful. Dive in to start automating your cloud deployments today.
