Learning objectives​

  • Explain Containers on Managed Services: ECS, Cloud Run, Fargate as a platform tradeoff involving regions, services, cost, reliability, and operational boundaries instead of vendor-feature memorization.
  • Use Containers on Managed Services: ECS, Cloud Run, Fargate to reason about what a cloud platform is abstracting away, what it still leaves you responsible for, and where failure or cost can still accumulate.
  • Use pro-git, the-linux-command-line to connect the learner-facing explanation to cloud primitives, reliability assumptions, and production deployment decisions.

Prerequisites​

  • Comfort with production system design, reliability tradeoffs, and the basic operational needs of deployed services.
