• Understand the principles and patterns associated with Restful APIs
• Learn important requirements to consider when migrating a monolithic application into a microservices architecture
• Master the benefits of using microservices and associated software patterns and tools to build microservice-based applications at speed and scale
• Understand tradeoffs between different architectural approaches
• Become comfortable with modern open source technologies such as Dotnet Core, Docker, Docker Compose, Linux, Terraform, Swagger, React
• Become familiar with Docker and Container orchestration runtimes to host and run containers, such as Docker Compose, Amazon ECS using Fargate, and Amazon EKS
