This course is for beginners. Are you brand new to Containers? Have you found that many of the training resources out there use complex technical jargon that make it difficult to understand the basic concepts? If you need to get a basic understanding of Docker and Kubernetes quickly and clearly, this is the course for you.

This course answers the questions:

  • What are microservices and containers?
  • What do Docker and Kubernetes do, and what are some of the key terms I should know?
  • What cloud solutions exist (AWS, Google, and Azure)?
  • What is the best way for my organization to get started with Containers?
  • How do I get started with Docker?
  • How can I create a Kubernetes Cluster and deploy apps?

I have taught hundreds of thousands of students across a variety of platforms, and I think anyone brand new to containers will love this course. Most lectures in this course are 5 - 10 minutes long. This course gives you an understanding of what Docker and Kubernetes do, and how to run them in the cloud. This course is meant to be a quick primer.

It includes basic hands-on demos that you can do, including getting started with Docker and creating your first Kubernetes Cluster and deploying a sample application.

If you are just getting started with Containers, this course will give you a strong foundation and is the ideal starting point.
