ECS Scaling
Scaling on Elastic Container Service in small increments, not one long exercise.
How this lab runs
Byte-size steps
Broken into small, ordered steps so a student can tell whether each one worked before moving on.
Launched from your LMS
Students open the lab from your course. No separate account or signup.
A real AWS account
Each student gets credentials and console access to a live account.
Graded automatically
Work is checked against what was actually built, and the score returns to your gradebook.
Cleaned up after
The account is torn down when the lab ends, so nothing keeps running.
