About this course: This course provides an introduction to Microclimate, an end-to-end development environment that lets you rapidly create, edit, and deploy applications that run in containers. Microclimate can be installed locally, or on IBM Cloud Private, where you can create a pipeline for continuous integration and delivery. In this course, you learn how to quickly set up a development environment for working with Microclimate, and import a sample application. Using the Integrated Jenkins pipeline and Github, you also learn how to deploy a microservice application to IBM Cloud Private. If you choose to take this course and earn the Coursera course certificate, you will also earn an IBM digital badge. To find out more about IBM digital badges follow the link http://ibm.biz/badging.
Who is this class for: This course is for technical professionals and students who have experience developing and deploying applications in traditional environments. The ideal candidate for this course has a basic understanding of cloud computing, and is interested in developing microservices. Some experience with using IBM Cloud is useful, but not required. Some experience with using container technology is also a plus.
