Amazon EKS bootcamp course in Spanish: review

Our analysis

This is a hands-on Amazon EKS bootcamp that goes from creating a cluster to scaling and monitoring it, aimed at people who already know Kubernetes and need to run it in production on AWS. We would recommend it to DevOps and platform engineers looking for a lab-driven walkthrough of the pieces that show up in a real cluster: ingress, storage, permissions and autoscaling.

Who it is for

• DevOps engineers or SREs who will operate workloads on EKS.
• Cloud architects who need to understand the networking, permission and scaling choices of a managed cluster.
• Kubernetes practitioners who have the basics down and want to move to AWS.

What it covers

• Setting up the AWS and Kubernetes environment and building EKS clusters from scratch.
• Deploying applications with kubectl and manifests, and ingress with the AWS ALB controller.
• Persistent EBS volumes for stateful workloads and secure access with IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA).
• Scaling with Cluster Autoscaler, HPA, VPA, Karpenter and KEDA for event-driven scaling.
• Observability with logs, metrics and dashboards, with attention to cluster health and cost.

What to keep in mind

• The course is in Spanish, but the description states it is an AI translation of an English original; watch the preview lessons to see whether the narration works for you.
• This is not an introduction to Kubernetes: arrive knowing what pods, deployments and services are, and comfortable with the AWS console and IAM.
• EKS is not covered by a free tier: the control plane, nodes and load balancers all cost money. Tear resources down after each lab.
• EKS and add-on versions move fast; some commands may need adjusting compared with what the videos show.

Where it fits in a path

Before this bootcamp you need a foundation in containers and Kubernetes, plus familiarity with core AWS services; our AWS Cloud Practitioner certification guide is a good starting point for the latter. If you come from development, the web developer roadmap helps you understand the kind of applications you will end up deploying. Afterwards, the natural next step is automating cluster creation with infrastructure as code and going deeper into Kubernetes security.
