   <p><strong>Title: Building Scalable Docker Services in Amazon’s Web Services with ECS</strong>
 </p>
 
-<p>
-
-<p>Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable container management service that makes it easy to run Docker-based services on Amazon. Amazon ECS eliminates the need for you to operate your own cluster management and configuration management systems or worry about scaling your management infrastructure. This platform empowers companies to use Docker to reduce the differences between production and development environments. EC2 Container Service has a robust API that Amazon’s AWS services are known for to add further levels of automation.<p>

+<p>Amazon offers a wide number of tools to architect scalable services in various ways.  This workshop will walk you through a handful of these approaches to both architect your own services, or modify existing softwares for scale.  By the end of this workshop, you will be familiar with the requirements for designing scalable services and various approaches to achieving this goal on AWS.  We’ll do a workshop on as many of the topics below based on that topic’s popularity and the time available; at the start of the workshop we’ll take a vote and go from there.  The topics available include…</p>
 
 <p>
- • Show you the tools of the trade, and assist you to get your first Docker-based service launched on Amazon. <br />
- • Discuss and explain how their services that ECS relies on works, such as Autoscaling (AS), Autoscaling Groups (ASGs), Load Balancers (ELBs), and Security Groups. <br />
- • Discuss the necessary architecture of your application(s) to handle scale on ECS or AS <br />
- • Highlight differences you might have between development/staging/production-based ECS services. <br />
- • Explain integrations with other AWS-based services (such as RDS or ElastiCache) <br />
- • Answer any questions you might have about Amazon’s ECS or related services <br />
+• Modifying an existing application for (auto)scale on AWS (Workshop with EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, AutoScaling, Deployment Strategies, Schema Change Strategies)<br />
+• Architecting Services without Servers (Workshop with AWS Lambda, NodeJS, Serverless, API Gateway, CloudFront)<br />
+• Building apps on a Platform as a Service (Workshop with Elastic Beanstalk, PHP, ElastiCache)<br />
+• Architecting Docker-based Microservices with Amazon’s Elastic Container Service (Workshop with ECS, RDS, Docker)<br />
+• Explanation, demonstration and Q&A discussion of Continuous Delivery/Deployment Strategies and tools and their uses/usage pertaining to AWS<br />
+• Scalable Services on AWS in a healthy DevOps culture (SNS, SQS, AWS Lambda, Slack)<br />

+• A general understanding of AWS concepts and technologies and/or interest to learn<br />
+• A general understanding of some of the various technologies and concepts above and/or interest to learn<br />
+• A little experience with scripting/programming will also help speed your education of this workshop but is not necessary<br />
+• I welcome beginners, but I may only be able to spend so much time at this level of assistance.  Find or contact me afterwards if you want to ask me questions I could not answer during the workshop.</p>
