"Concise and clear overview of Containers ! Pace is great, slides are clear and gets to the point." -Gayle

This course is for beginners. Are you brand new to Containers? Have you found that many of the training resources out there use complex technical jargon that make it difficult to understand the basic concepts? If you need to get a basic understanding of Docker and Kubernetes quickly and clearly, this is the course for you.

This course answers the questions:

What are microservices and containers?
What do Docker and Kubernetes do, and what are some of the key terms I should know?
What cloud solutions exist (AWS, Google, and Azure)?
What is the best way for my organization to get started with Containers?
How to I get started with Docker?
How can I create a Kubernetes Cluster and deploy apps?

I have taught hundreds of thousands of students across a variety of platforms, and I think anyone brand new to containers will love this course. Most lectures in this course are 5 - 10 minutes long. This course gives you an understanding of what Docker and Kubernetes do, and how to run them in the cloud. This course is meant to be a quick primer.

It includes basic hands-on demos that you can do, including getting started with Docker and creating your first Kubernetes Cluster and deploying a sample application.

If you are just getting started with Containers, this course will give you a strong foundation, and is the ideal starting point.

very helpful for a beginner to know all these topics. the "key terms to understand" before each session is helpful as well.

Very clear overview of containers, Docker, Kubernetes and a few other container management information. I found it helpful to read the transcripts of the narration while I watched because there is a lot of terminology that explains the minute differences between software options.

Not quite the match I was looking for but excellent content. Looking for something more basic for containers.

Rather than being a truly general overview it has so far seemed biased to Microservices applications (not my use case) and AWS (not my use case)

The explanation is more than sufficient and the pace of explanation is so optimum that it gets absorbed in the brain without any ressistance. . Keep up the good work Ric !

it was a good introductory session to get yourself familiar with all these new terms like kubernetes, container, docker, pods, micro services etc.

incredibly thoughtful in progressive information and the explanations are highly relevant as well as intuitive to not only understanding the concept but understanding the concept within the context of actual use cases / on-the-job.
