-
Craft an AWS VPC using Terraform, emphasizing Infrastructure-as-Code over the AWS Management Console.
-
Utilize Terraform code to establish an EKS Kubernetes Cluster.
-
Deploy a static website as a Nginx container, testing it locally before deploying it to Kubernetes.
-
Set up an RDS MySQL database instance with Terraform, dedicated to one of the microservices, the API application, within a larger project.
-
Deploy the API application as a container in Kubernetes, leveraging the AWS RDS database.
-
Configure routing with Amazon Load Balancer (ALB) and Kubernetes Ingress.
-
Deploy the final container application and add a new route in Ingress.
-
Explore important topics like ConfigMaps and Secrets in Kubernetes.

How to use the code?
As you move forward in the course, after each lecture, check if there are any code or command-line instructions discussed. To get the code, simply download the attached source code (it's in a zip file) provided for that particular lesson.
Once you have the code, you can update your own version using it. But here's the key: avoid just copying the code without understanding it. It's better to try writing it yourself and then compare it to the given source code.
Keep in mind, some of the code and commands might not match exactly with what you saw in the video lesson. This happens because technologies like AWS and Terraform evolve rapidly. So, don't worry if things look a bit different. Just focus on grasping the concepts.
For more accurate and current command-line instructions, make sure to refer to the README file within the source code of each lesson. This will help you review the source code and understand the most up-to-date commands to use.
