Description

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 ObjectivesApplication ContainerizationMulti-container Docker ApplicationsKubernetes as a Container OrchestratorManage Applications using KubernetesConfigure Applications using KubernetesLearn and apply the concepts of MicroservicesYou will build this ApplicationA Two-Tier Microservices Application which hasA PHP Web Front EndA Flask REST API Server BackendFully scalable, ready to scale up or downImplemented in a Microservices Architecture, allowing Independent Deployability and Independent Scalability of each tierPersist Important data on the server, even if the Application crashesApply all the concepts you will learn as you build this Application bit by bitTechnology used in the ApplicationThe Frontend tier is built with PHP, HTML, CSSThe Backend tier is a REST API Server written in the Flask Python FrameworkContainerize each tier in its own Docker Container ImageBuild the end-to-end application using Docker, then using KubernetesLearn what Kubernetes adds on top of Docker to better manage your application
