Thank you for explaining the difficult topic of EKS so easily. Hope you successfully open the next course you are planning, and if you have the capacity, please also consider opening an AWS security course including AWS Control Tower, IAM, WAF, and NETWORK FIREWALL. Thank you.

Understanding how to configure and operate an EKS Fully Private Cluster
Building and Utilizing a Serverless EKS Environment Based on AWS Fargate
Configuring Network Security Using Amazon VPC CNI - Network Policy
Learning Rolling Update deployment strategy without data loss
Storage Expansion via Mountpoint for Amazon S3 CSI Driver

Building a Secure Access Environment for EKS Clusters Using Teleport Access Platform
Building CI/CD Pipelines and GitOps with Jenkins & ArgoCD
This is an expanded course that covers a wider variety of topics in greater depth, building upon the basic Amazon EKS course.
This course is an extended course that utilizes Amazon EKS, a managed Kubernetes service provided by AWS, to deploy EKS clusters in various configuration methods and provides in-depth coverage through hands-on practice focusing on topics frequently encountered in actual production environments.
After the basic lectures, it includes one step further expanded, practice-oriented content, and each section is designed to be usefully applicable in actual operations.
Based on the experience and study materials of the CloudNet@ team,
This is not just a follow-along lecture, but one where we practice together while considering "Why should it be structured this way?" and "What meaning does this setting have?"
Students who want to move to the next level after taking the basic EKS course
Cloud engineers and DevOps professionals who want to configure and utilize Amazon EKS environments in various ways
Someone who is considering authentication/authorization, security, monitoring, deployment strategies while operating EKS-based infrastructure
Anyone who wants to directly set up and experience a Kubernetes practice environment based on AWS is welcome!!

It proceeds in a systematic flow in the order of topic-based architecture concepts → diagramming → hands-on practice.
Each practice session is not just a simple test, but is composed of scenario-based practice.
Reusable automation scripts and hands-on environment code are also provided.
This is a course that continues the flow of the existing basic EKS course, but allows you to learn through hands-on practice with a wider variety of topics in greater depth.
You'll learn by directly implementing components frequently encountered in practice such as Terraform, Fargate, Ingress, Monitoring, Authentication/Authorization, FinOps, CI/CD, etc. in an Amazon EKS environment.
We provide hands-on practical experience where you can directly configure and experience different topics.
Learning progresses in a way that doesn't just end with simple configuration, but understanding the meaning and effects of the configuration and applying it.
Provides various schematic explanations
To help you easily understand the operational flow of theory and practice, we provide various diagrammatic screens.
Lectures with a high proportion of hands-on practice
We've structured the course to provide various hands-on exercises, so you can follow along directly, see the results with your own eyes, and understand the concepts.
This is an experiential lecture with a high proportion of hands-on practice compared to theory.
Hands-On Page Provided
For the convenience of hands-on practice, we provide an EKS Hands-On web page created by our team.
Code-based Resource Deployment
For the convenience of practice, the basic infrastructure deployment will be done using Terraform.
With this, you can focus on learning just the section topics.

Hello. I'm Ongja, active in the CloudNet@ team.
Our CloudNet@ team is a study group that learns and shares knowledge about cloud-related technologies. We have been actively conducting various knowledge-sharing activities through diverse cloud-related online study activities, book writing, and lecture content creation. We will continue to meet you with video lecture content on various topics in the future. :)
'Hands-on AWS Network Fundamentals' authoring (published in 2020)
'AWS Textbook' Writing (October 2023)
'AWS Networking Fundamentals with CloudNet@' Inflearn Course (April 2023)
'Amazon EKS Fundamentals with CloudNet@' Inflearn Course (September 2023)
Each section is structured in the order of theoretical explanation → hands-on practice, and it is recommended to take the lectures in sequence.
It's structured so that you can follow along with the hands-on practice,
Repetitive tasks or sections requiring wait time have been appropriately edited, and you should pause the video when necessary to follow along with the hands-on practice.
It's recommended to proceed with the expectation that it will take about 1.5 times longer than the indicated estimated practice time.
We will utilize free tier environments as much as possible, but please note that small charges may occur during the hands-on practice.
It depends on your learning patterns and situation, but it's expected to cost around 20,000 won or more.
Provides EKS Hands-On web page, a practical guide (https://www.ongja.space/cnaeelab)
Terraform resource deployment code provided
Terraform resource deployment command execution ⇒ Creating basic infrastructure for hands-on practice
Terraform resource deletion command execution ⇒ Delete basic infrastructure for practice
This explains how to download code during the course.
Lecture materials PDF/PPT provided
We basically provide lecture progress PDF files.
PPT files are provided in read-only format exclusively to course review writers.
Checking with a slide show would help you understand the dynamic behavior. If you need it, please apply via email :)
