About This course
Containerization is vital to cloud applications. This tech provides an organization with the power of portability, consistency, efficiency, scalability, and DevOps enablement for its applications. Take advantage of this course as an essential step in your career as a developer or DevOps professional.
In this course, designed for anyone new to containerization, you will conceive the need for it and its supporting technologies, how these technologies operate, and how they work together. Technologies and tools you explore include Docker, container registries, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Istio.
You learn by doing. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build a container image and then deploy and scale your container on the cloud.
If you harness the knowledge from this course along with basic cloud and programming concepts, your career path could include roles such as cloud developer, cloud architect, cloud system engineer, DevOps engineer, and cloud networking specialist.
Learning Objectives:
- Move applications quickly between environments using containers
- Use Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Istio to deploy cloud-native applications
- Leverage Kubernetes architecture to design a container management system
- Create a YAML deployment file to manage required resources for a containerized application such as pods, services, and replica sets
Prerequisites:
The “Introduction to Cloud Computing” course, basic computer skills, and understanding of cloud command line, and shell commands is recommended.
