This repo is for a class I teach on using EKS. This class assumes you have a basic idea and understanding about:

• Python
• AWS
• Docker
• Kubernetes - you should know at least a little about it.

The purpose of the class is to show how to get an EKS cluster up and running, do some administration, and then run some applications. Finally we show how to integrate other AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB) in with our EKS cluster.
