Docker and Kubernetes: Containerization Guide

Containerization has revolutionized software deployment, and Docker and Kubernetes are at the forefront of this transformation. Understanding these tools is essential for modern DevOps practices.

Docker Basics

Docker allows you to package applications and their dependencies into containers that run consistently across different environments. Learn Dockerfile best practices, image management, and container orchestration basics. Docker simplifies deployment and ensures consistency between development, staging, and production environments.

Kubernetes Overview

Kubernetes provides container orchestration, managing containerized applications at scale. Understand pods, services, deployments, and how Kubernetes handles scaling, load balancing, and self-healing. Kubernetes is essential for managing complex, distributed applications in production.

Deployment Strategies

Learn effective deployment strategies including rolling updates, blue-green deployments, and canary releases. These strategies minimize downtime and risk when deploying new versions of your applications.
