- Networking considerations when connecting your containers to EFS storage, as well as RDS databases
- The permission requirements needed to work with S3 from containers
- Using EventBridge with ECS
- Posting messages to SQS from your containers
Intended Audience
- Cloud Developers with prior experience with containers
- Anyone planning to migrate their containers to the cloud to take advantage of AWS
Prerequisites
- General understanding of Docker and building containers
- Basic knowledge of AWS services, such as EC2, S3, and EFS
- Software development
Software Development has been my craft for over 2 decades. In recent years, I was introduced to the world of "Infrastructure as Code" and Cloud Computing.
I loved it! -- it re-sparked my interest in staying on the cutting edge of technology.
Colleagues regard me as a mentor and leader in my areas of expertise and also as the person to call when production servers crash and we need the App back online quickly.
My primary skills are:
★ Software Development ( Java, PHP, Python and others )
★ Cloud Computing Design and Implementation
★ DevOps: Continuous Delivery and Integration
