Why take this course?

Docker has quickly become one of the more popular tools for DevOps teams these days for streamlining and simplifying the deployment of applications across a variety of environments, platforms, and services. Docker in essence encapsulates an application and its environment into a Docker image that can then be deployed just about anywhere that supports Docker containers. Build once deploy anywhere is the mantra. Docker reduces or even eliminates the need for development and operation teams from managing dependencies and environment settings across heterogeneous systems.

In this course you will learn how Docker can be used to deploy WebLogic for both development and production environments. This course will cover the following topics:

Course Topics

A basic understanding of Docker and its advantages when it comes to WebLogic.
Creating Docker images for each component of the WebLogic runtime stack, including the OS, Oracle JRE 8, Oracle WebLogic 12c.
Creating a Docker image for a WebLogic domain
Deploying WebLogic, including the tech stack and a domain, by launching containers
Creating and starting clustered managed servers using Docker
Deploying web applications to a WebLogic domain
Patterns for externalizing domain configuration
Patterns for passing secrets to a WebLogic docker image
Patterns for managing logs and troubleshooting
Building a CI pipeline for WebLogic using Docker, Jenkins, and Artifactory

Course Structure and Content

This course includes numerous video lectures and hands-on lab exercises. A downloadable lab guide accompanies this course and will get you up and running with Docker and WebLogic.

Course with several failures. The promised CI/CD section is missing, the contents are poorly worked on, the presentation is not very careful and the course is very short and not very detailed and very little support is given by the trainer in the questions and answers section. My rating is not lower because the content is very interesting and rare.

I liked, it's an awesome tutorial, and if a may suggest, yout could add a lab with remote debugging using weblogic + eclipse. thx

The course is very good, but the Oracle scripts have moved on, so it wasn't as straight forward as it should have been.

Some questions about deployment were not answered, I figured it out myself googling a little and finally did the lab 100%. A typical errors sections would have been useful, though. In sum, good for beginners and not much beginners, very practical.

Hi Chris, Thanks for such a good docker tutorial. Just wanted to know if you have any other tutorial which talks about like how to create the docker files for weblogic or other fusion middleware product. That would really helps to write your own customized docker scripts and run the same for product installation along with the required customization. Thanks & Regards, Nitin Poddar

This course promises to teach you "Building a CI pipeline for WebLogic using Docker, Jenkins, and Artifactory". However this topic is missing from the course and the author doesn't want to respond to this problem which was risen months ago in the Q&A section.

I've enrolled for the course with an idea that the instructor will guide/ teach to get up and running with the weblogic binaries and creating a docker image from scratch. But I am a little disappointed with the fact that all the labs were using the oracle git repos and I feel that there is nothing really hands-on. All I was able to do was to clone oracle repo, download the necessary java and weblogic jar's and execute the oracle provided scripts. Personally, I feel that this could have been a blog post or video that could have been uploaded on YouTube. Sorry to say, I did not feel any sort of satisfaction after having watched all the videos. I had expected a different level of course from the instructor who had provided wonderful courses on weblogic admin, but this is too too basic and lacks interest!
