Did you want to start learning Application Containerization, Docker, and Kubernetes but did not know where to start? Do you want something that is not just theroy, but rather a journey where you create and run an actual Application?

Then this course is for you. You will learn the concepts of Containers and how to put them to practice using Docker and Kubernetes. Better yet, you will build a Microservices Application in this course as you learn and apply the new concepts.

Course Objectives

Application Containerization

Multi-container Docker Applications

Kubernetes as a Container Orchestrator

Manage Applications using Kubernetes

Configure Applications using Kubernetes

Learn and apply the concepts of Microservices

You will build this Application

A Two-Tier Microservices Application which has

A PHP Web Front End

A Flask REST API Server Backend

Fully scalable, ready to scale up or down

Implemented in a Microservices Architecture, allowing Independent Deployability and Independent Scalability of each tier

Persist Important data on the server, even if the Application crashes

Apply all the concepts you will learn as you build this Application bit by bit

Technology used in the Application

The Frontend tier is built with PHP, HTML, CSS

The Backend tier is a REST API Server written in the Flask Python Framework

Containerize each tier in its own Docker Container Image

Build the end-to-end application using Docker, then using Kubernetes

Learn what Kubernetes adds on top of Docker to better manage your application
