## What it is
A companion GitHub repository for the StackSimplify AWS EKS Kubernetes Masterclass course, containing step-by-step documentation, YAML manifests, and demo code for deploying and operating Kubernetes workloads on AWS EKS. It covers Docker, Kubernetes fundamentals, storage, load balancing, Fargate, CI/CD with AWS Developer Tools, microservices patterns, autoscaling, and monitoring.

## Use cases
- learn aws eks kubernetes from scratch
- deploy microservices on eks with service discovery
- set up alb ingress with ssl on eks
- configure ci/cd pipeline for kubernetes with codepipeline
- run kubernetes workloads on aws fargate
- monitor eks cluster with cloudwatch container insights
- learn kubernetes autoscaling hpa vpa cluster autoscaler
- practice eks storage with ebs csi and rds mysql

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on, demo-driven learning path for AWS EKS and Kubernetes
- you are preparing for DevOps or cloud roles focused on AWS container workloads
- you need working YAML manifests and configs to follow along while learning
- you want to learn AWS-integrated Kubernetes features like ALB ingress, Fargate, and CloudWatch

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready infrastructure code rather than educational examples
- you use a cloud other than AWS, since nearly all content is AWS-specific
- you want a maintained software tool or library - this is course material, not software
- you need a license-protected or formally supported resource, as the repo has no license
