Docker and Kubernetes Fundamentals: Microservices Deployment

Modern backend development and DevOps rely heavily on containerization. If you want to understand how applications are packaged, shipped, and scaled today, mastering container technologies is essential. This course takes you from foundational concepts to practical application through clear, written instruction. You will learn how to isolate environments, manage dependencies, and orchestrate multiple services to build a resilient microservices architecture. To ensure your knowledge is up to date, we also introduce modern CI/CD fundamentals and basic observability concepts used in current industry workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand core containerization concepts, terminology, and architecture. - Build, optimize, and manage container images using modern best practices. - Configure multi-container environments for reliable local development. - Deploy and orchestrate a basic microservices application with Kubernetes. - Apply modern observability basics to understand container health and logging. - Integrate foundational CI/CD concepts into your deployment strategy. The curriculum begins with essential definitions and the underlying philosophy of containerization before moving into practical, written exercises. You will progress step-by-step through configuration files, command-line instructions, and architectural patterns. This course is designed specifically for DevOps beginners and backend developers with no prior experience in container orchestration.
