Description

2021 Update: Ready for Apple Silicon (M1 arm64) and Raspberry Pi's!

Be ready for the Dockerized future with the number ONE Docker + Kubernetes mega-course on Udemy . Welcome to the most complete and up-to-date course for learning and using containers end-to-end, from development and testing to server deployments and production. Taught by an award-winning Docker Captain and DevOps consultant.

Just starting out with Docker?  Perfect. This course starts out assuming you're new to containers.

Or: Using Docker now and need to deal with real-world problems?  I'm here for you! See my production topics around Swarm, Kubernetes, secrets, logging, rolling upgrades, and more.

Why should you learn from me? Why trust me to teach you the best ways to use Docker?:

• I'm A Practitioner. Welcome to the real world : I've got 20 years of sysadmin and developer experience, over 30 certifications, and have been using Docker and the container ecosystem for my consulting clients and my own companies since Docker's early days. Learn from someone who's run hundreds of containers across dozens of projects and organizations.
• I'm An Educator. Learn from someone who knows how to make a syllabus : I want to help you. People say I'm good at it. For the last few years, I've trained thousands of people on using Docker in workshops, conferences, and meetups. See me teach at events like DockerCon, O'Reilly Velocity, GOTO Conf, and Linux Open Source Summit. I hope you'll decide to learn with me and join the fantastic online Docker community.
• I Lead Communities . Also, I'm a Docker Captain, meaning that Docker Inc. thinks I know a thing or two about Docker and that I do well in sharing it with others. In the real world: I help run two local meetups in our fabulous tech community in Norfolk/Virginia Beach USA. I help online: usually in Slack and Twitter, where I learn from and help others.

This is a living course and will be updated as Docker and Kubernetes features change.

This course is designed to be fast at getting you started but also get you deep into the "why" of things. Simply the fastest and best way to learn the latest container skills. Look at the scope of topics in the Session and see the breadth of skills you will learn.

Also included is a private Slack Chat group with 20k students for getting help with this course  and continuing your Docker and DevOps learning with help from myself and other students.

Some of the many cool things you'll do in this course:

• Edit web code on your machine while it's served up in a container
• Lockdown your apps in private networks that only expose necessary ports
• Create a 3-node Swarm cluster in the cloud
• Install Kubernetes and learn the leading server cluster tools
• Use Virtual IP's for built-in load balancing in your cluster
• Optimize your Dockerfiles for faster building and tiny deploys
• Build/Publish your own custom application images
• Learn the differences between Kubernetes and Swarm
• Create your own image registry
• Use Swarm Secrets to encrypt your environment configs, even on disk
• Deploy container updates in a rolling always-up design
• Create the config utopia of a single set of YAML files for local dev, CI testing, and prod cluster deploys

Extra things that come with this course:

• Access to the course Slack team, for getting help/advice from me and other students.
• Bonus videos I put elsewhere like YouTube, linked to from this course's resources.
• Weekly Live Q&A on YouTube Live.
• Tons of reference links to supplement this content.
• Updates to content as Docker changes their features on these topics.

Instructors

Bret Fisher,  Docker Captain, and DevOps Sysadmin

Hey, I'm Bret. Thanks for learning about me. I'm a freelance DevOps and Docker consultant, trainer, speaker, and Open Source volunteer working from Virginia Beach, USA. I've helped over 250,000 people learn Docker and DevOps tools and techniques.

I've been a cloud and data center ops/sysadmin for more than 20 years. For years I've been exclusive to containers and I help teams Dockerize their apps and systems, and improve their speed of deployment, resiliency, metrics, and awareness. All that DevOps-y stuff.

I'm also a Docker Captain and Code for America Brigade Captain. I run monthly meetups, speak at conferences, and love helping others. I'm obsessed with containerizing any app I see, and I'll likely talk your ear off about it next time we meet. I sometimes develop in Node.js, Bash, and general web, usually for open source.
