DevOps Tools: Docker and Kubernetes for Developers

Make the most of these new DevOps technologies

This two-day course takes you through building, integrating and running containers. You will learn how Docker and Kubernetes work and how to reach maximum benefit of these new DevOps technologies.

Throughout the course we will take you through a variety of hands-on exercises designed to help you grow quickly from a beginner to a seasoned user. By the end of the course you will be familiar with the “why” of Docker. You will be able to run any pre-built image from docker hub, mapping data out of your containers, and port forwarding traffic into your running containers. You will be able to read and make your own docker images and know all the best practices on how to create effective reusable images and how to deploy your own custom images to docker hub. You will also be able to perform the tasks needed to get started with integrating it into your development process by orchestrating multiple containers in unison.

At the end of the course you will get a thorough introduction to Kubernetes and how you can deploy and scale containers in a cloud environment.
