Diploma in DevOps Engineering - Kubernetes, Docker and Google Cloud

Description

This is a project-based course, where the fundamentals, concepts, definitions and terminology used in the Kubernetes, Docker and Google Cloud platforms are provided. In Project One, a publicly accessible WordPress website is created, which is backed by a MySQL database, running inside a Google Container Engine Pod. In Project Two, a multi-tier web application, called a Guestbook, is created, using a Google Container Engine. Students will perform hands-on practical exercises, to help them learn.

The course begins by covering the essential information and software involved. The Google Cloud platform is introduced and users are asked to set up an account and explore the menu features. Google Cloud, is a powerful platform where you can build websites, apps, scale applications and VMs. Many of the tools available in the platform, will be used in this course. The course also covers Kubernetes which is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. Next, you are introduced to Docker - its history and uses, in the context of software deployment and delivery challenges. Docker, like a container, provides a "uniform wrapper" around a software package, so that it can be built, shipped and run anywhere.
