About the Course

Take the next step in your software engineering career by getting skilled in container tools and technologies! The average salary for jobs that require container skills is $137,000 in the US according to salary.com, making Devops professionals and developers with these skills highly in demand. More than 70 percent of Fortune 100 companies are running containerized applications. But why? Using containerization, organizations can move applications quickly and seamlessly among desktop, on-premises, and cloud platforms. In this beginner course on containers, learn how to build cloud native applications using current containerization tools and technologies such as Docker, container registries, Kubernetes, Red Hat, OpenShift, and Istio. Also learn how to deploy and scale your applications in any public, private, or hybrid cloud. By taking this course you will familiarize yourself with: - Docker objects, Dockerfile commands, container image naming, Docker networking, storage, and plugins - Kubernetes command line interface (CLI), or “kubectl” to manipulate objects, manage workloads in a Kubernetes cluster, and apply basic kubectl commands - ReplicaSets, autoscaling, rolling updates, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and service bindings - The similarities and differences between OpenShift and Kubernetes Each week, you will apply what you learn in hands-on, browser-based labs. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build a container image, then deploy and scale your container. The skills taught in this course are essential to anyone in the fields of software development, back-end & full-stack development, cloud architects, cloud system engineers, devops practitioners, site reliability engineers (SRE), cloud networking specialists and many other roles....

I audited this course, but it was pretty much what I hoped for. Nice hands on exercises that are the core of a good training course for me.

Good intro to docker containers, kubernetes and openshift. Most topics are high level, Docker alone is given about a week's worth of material.

The course is a very solid introduction to the stated technologies, and I am very glad to have taken it. The hands-on labs were especially welcome due to their focus on command line (CLI) tools, which hopefully leads to much more consistent implementation of solutions moving forward. All that being said, there are some errors or discrepancies within the quizes / tests which could do for review and correction. I can't give exact examples, but a quick look at the forums / discussion area of some of the weeks will reveal the quiz questions that don't "feel" right. And that was after re-watching some of the videos a second time to validate the answers that should have been correct.

The course was a good introduction to Docker and Kubernetes and helped me connect the dots on how each tool is used together. I found the videos themselves to be somewhat dry. Most learning came in the form of hands on labs. There were some technical issues with the labs where results did not match the intended results in the instructions, but nothing that couldnt be solved with some light troubleshooting (e.g. when launching the v2 app for the final project, a cached version of the v1 app would appear; deployment yaml referenced a v2beta2 and needed to be v2). The course would have been better served with additional hands on labs. Overall I would recommend.

Thank you, guys! It's really a great and informative course. Still I've got one moment and it is connected to the fact that I passed it not for working as a developer, but I need it as I work as a technical writers team lead and I'm not a programmer at all. That is why I would ask you if it's possible to add some more reference information in videos as it's sometimes hard to get the idea - what the commands are for, what are the main instruments for work and so on. The course is intended for beginners but sometimes seems it's not. Still, many thanks to you.

I'll let here my opnion about this course. Is REALLY good to get concepts and introduction to the world of containers and kubernetes. But it would be a lot better if in the final project we could do a project to use all concepts learned during the course. Like we learned about deamonset, configmaps, secrets, a lot more and we used in the final project just some of them.

Really good introductory course. The labs were excellent and helped consolidate information provided in lectures. In terms of labs, tt would be good if terminal and instructions can be viewed in separate windows. One screen is not enough. Also, it would be better if an actual presenter gave the lectures rather than a bot.
