Those new to the Programming and DevOps world often find it challenging to start their journey due to the missing basic prerequisites. For example, issues with setting up a basic lab environment using VirtualBox, problems with networking, or trouble with working with the Linux CLI or text editors like vi editor. Sometimes there are issues with applications - like getting a sample application to work, problems with getting the dependencies to install correctly or trouble with getting a web server to communicate with a database server. Or, at other times, it's working with data formats like JSON or YAML.

So we have identified a gap, and we believe that this is due to missing some of the basic prerequisites, such as knowing the basics of Linux, the basics of tools like VirtualBox, or knowing the basics of the most commonly used applications like Java, Python or NodeJS or web servers like Apache, NGINX etc. As a DevOps or Cloud Engineer, it is crucial to have these basics cleared. And that’s why we are helping you to bridge that gap!

Simply outstanding, thank you. ECS for me - time is money

[someguyOW]

This was an excellent overview. I got all the information I needed. Thank you.

I've decided to go with fargate with ecs since I don't want to manage servers but I also don't like kubernetes.

[progperspectives]

This video so to the point. Right information. Very clear. Gave me good clarity. Thanks for uploafing such good videos.

[sunshadow]

Well explained. No noise. Right to the point. Thank you Sir.

[codenchill]

Well explained. Would be great if you can do a video how to deploy an application into ecs, eks including all these functionalities

[codelinx]

Eks out of the two, but I normally just build out an environment with terraform, now tofu. I utilize ansible and some other tools to keep clusters up to date, clean and secure. We leverage services in the cloud in top of our security processes and tooling

[sumonpoor]

Thank you so much for your hard work to make this fantastic lesson available.

[spud]

Fantastic video, well explained and to the point. I'd LOVE to see a video about using Terraform to deploy real simple application such as wordpress to ECS or EKS.

[MoumitaGhosh-vote]

One of the best video so far.. very clear and easy to understand

[elabeddhahbi]

it would be amazing if you make a serie explaining eks and terraform project with consul

[mrti]

Thank you for making this. This is the best explanation I’ve heard.

[syedqadri]

[andrewpoloni]

Thank you, this was a terrific presentation!

[grahamschuckman]

So pretty much use ECS if you can. EKS only really becomes advantageous when you 're a) already using K8s or b) are semi-concerned about vendor lock-in.

The part about "when a workload is sufficiently complex use EKS/K8s" always confuses me. What dictates if something is "sufficiently complex?" What can EKS do that ECS can't when it comes to handling complex workloads?

[AbhayNayak]

about ecs vs eks, when you say complex apps, what does it mean? Because I feel if I'm about to start a new project and I've to choose, Fargate gives me everything that EKS has. Can you give an example where EKS will be the only choice over Fargate? EKS has a lot of features, but most of it goes unused by me, what scenarios do I need to consider while choosing EKS?
