Have you mastered the basics of Docker and containers, and now want to understand how to deploy containers as part of a development workflow, and reaching all the way through to production?
We’ll go through how to apply that fundamental knowledge into practical scenarios, walking through how best to use containers on public and private clouds.
We’ll set up Kubernetes both from scratch, and as a managed service from cloud providers, and go through the logic of why you might choose either.

We’ll talk through how to run a CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline to deliver container-based software and how to apply best practice around security.
This course is run virtually over 4 half‑day sessions of 4 hours each.
Our virtual courses offer the same expert-led, hands-on experience we've offered since 2013 — accessible from the comfort of your own home (office).

Who should take this workshop?
If you have conquered the basics of Docker and running containers, and want to move your skills to the next level including how to run containers reliably and safely using Kubernetes-based services, then this course is for you.
Prerequisites
You should be familiar with the Linux command line and editing text configuration files on either Linux, Mac or Windows. You should have an understanding of Docker fundamentals and have run and built container images.
Workshop Outline
We will also implement a CI pipeline to build and deploy containers to a Kubernetes cluster in a safe and efficient manner.
