DevOps with Docker & Kubernetes
Master modern DevOps practices using Docker and Kubernetes to build, deploy, automate, and scale cloud-native applications.
# DevOps with Docker & Kubernetes
In today's software industry, DevOps has become an essential practice for delivering applications faster, more reliably, and with higher quality. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to DevOps methodologies, containerization with Docker, and container orchestration using Kubernetes.
Students will learn how to package applications into lightweight Docker containers, manage multi-container environments, and deploy scalable applications on Kubernetes clusters. The course also introduces Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), Infrastructure as Code (IaC), monitoring, logging, and DevSecOps best practices.
Through hands-on labs and real-world projects, learners will gain practical experience building automated deployment pipelines, managing cloud-native applications, and improving application reliability. By the end of the course, students will have the skills required to deploy, scale, monitor, and maintain modern applications using industry-standard DevOps tools.
