Description

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is an offering from AWS that allows you to orchestrate the deployment of docker-based applications. It's fully managed, can integrate with deployment automation tools, and features advanced scaling options.

By learning how to use Amazon ECS, you will become more effective at deploying docker-based applications in the public AWS cloud.

This hands-on lab challenge will test your practical ability to deploy a solution in a production-like AWS environment. You will be presented with a task and set of requirements you must fulfill to pass the challenge.

This is a real environment, which means you can prove your knowledge in an applied way, substituting multiple choice questions for a dynamic performance-based exam situation.
