Introduction to Containers and Amazon EKS
Many organizations are turning to containers to build their next generation of modern applications, or to modernize existing applications to lower costs, reduce image sprawl, and meet organizational scaling requirements. Join us to learn the how and why behind Containers and Amazon EKS. This Immersion Day will begin with a high level introduction to containers and Docker, followed by an introduction to Amazon ECR. After introductions, the AWS and Innovative teams will lead attendees through hands on labs for deploying into an EKS cluster. The Immersion Day will also review funding programs that are offered by AWS and Innovative to assist organizations with their deployments into AWS.
