Discovery Day- AWS Security and Containerization by AWS is a 4-hour immersive training designed for IT professionals, cloud security engineers, and DevSecOps practitioners seeking to strengthen their expertise in securing cloud environments and deploying containerized applications. While not directly aligned to a single certification exam, this course builds foundational knowledge relevant to the AWS Certified Security – Specialty credential, which validates advanced skills in securing AWS workloads. With cybersecurity roles on AWS platforms growing rapidly—job postings requiring AWS security skills increasing by 73% year-over-year—this course equips learners with timely, in-demand capabilities. It serves individuals aiming to advance into roles such as cloud security architect, DevSecOps engineer, or container platform specialist, where understanding identity management and secure application deployment is critical.
The course covers core AWS services including IAM (Identity and Access Management), AWS Secrets Manager, Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) with Fargate, Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), API Gateway, and Lambda, all explored within the live AWS Console environment. Participants engage in hands-on labs where they configure IAM roles and policies to enforce least privilege, deploy serverless applications using Lambda and API Gateway, and build and manage containerized workloads on both ECS and EKS. A key real-world scenario involves deploying a secure, containerized application using ECS Fargate, demonstrating best practices in workload isolation, secrets management, and serverless infrastructure. These practical exercises ensure learners gain direct experience in configuring scalable, secure cloud-native architectures using official AWS tools and services.
By preparing participants for advanced security challenges on AWS, this course supports career progression toward the highly recognized AWS Certified Security – Specialty certification, ranked among the top highest-paying technical certifications in the U.S. according to Skillsoft’s 2024 IT Skills and Salary report.
