In this advanced course, you explore the operational practices that keep containerized workloads reliable and performant long after the initial deployment. Working with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, you implement progressive delivery strategies to reduce release risk, configure coordinated autoscaling across application and infrastructure layers, and build incident-ready observability using structured metrics, traces, and alerts. You develop failure-mode runbooks that prepare your team for real-world outages, then validate your skills through a final challenge scenario. By the end, you will operate container platforms with the confidence and rigor production environments demand.
