Course Overview

The Docker and Kubernetes course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of containerization and orchestration technologies. Docker is a platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers, while Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. This course covers key concepts, features, and best practices for using Docker and Kubernetes to build, deploy, and manage modern applications efficiently.
1. Develop skills to containerize applications using Docker.

2. Understand how to orchestrate and manage containerized applications with Kubernetes.

3. Learn best practices and strategies for deploying and scaling applications in a cloud-native environment.
Learn software skills with real experts, either in live classes with videos or without videos, whichever suits you best.
Description

This course begins with an introduction to Docker and Kubernetes, covering containerization concepts, Docker images, and containers, as well as Kubernetes architecture and components. Participants will learn how to use Docker to build and manage containers and how to use Kubernetes for orchestrating containerized applications. The course also explores advanced topics such as persistent storage, networking, and security in containerized environments. Practical examples, hands-on labs, and real-world scenarios will be used to reinforce theoretical concepts.
