Containers in cloud computing are a form of operating system virtualization that allows users or administrators to deploy and run applications without the need for virtual machines. Containers can be deployed and run virtually anywhere, and support Linux, Windows, and Mac operating systems. In this course, you'll explore the various types of container solutions, including Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS. You'll outline how containers enable a more efficient continuous integration and delivery system and why they're needed for SRE. You'll also examine container storage, security, and migration. You'll list the high-availability solutions available for containers and investigate the Containers as a Service concept. Lastly, you'll recognize how the container ecosystem is revolutionizing software delivery, and identify the role of Docker and Kubernetes in container orchestration.

    4.  Kubernetes for Container Orchestration
    4m 21s
    In this video, you'll learn more about Kubernetes. This is an open source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. The premise behind Kubernetes is that it's a container orchestration platform used to manage running containers within a distributed system. It monitors every running container and helps container scale with increases in demand and implement failover provisions if a container goes down. FREE ACCESS

    5.  Kubernetes Components
    6m 2s
    In this video, you'll learn the basic components of Kubernetes. You'll discover that a Kubernetes deployment is a cluster consisting of several nodes that run containers. There is a minimum of one worker node per Kubernetes cluster. Pods in Kubernetes share network and storage resources, and include a blueprint configuration on how to actually run the containers.

    6.  Docker Containers
    2m 50s
    In this video, you'll learn more about Docker. You'll discover that Docker is a platform as a service product that facilitates containers to run by providing operating system level virtualization. Containers are isolated from each other and bundled with their own software, libraries, and dependencies. They're also able to communicate and share information between each other.You'll learn how these attributes are especially important for applications with a microservice architecture. FREE ACCESS

    7.  Docker Desktop and Application Containerization
    2m 41s
    In this video, you'll learn how to describe how the Docker Desktop can be used to containerize applications on a desktop. Docker Desktop was created to enable developers working on Windows and macOS to build, share, and deploy containers in microservice applications. It allows developers to certify Docker Images hosted on Docker Hub in order to quickly build and deploy secure microservice applications. FREE ACCESS

    8.  Docker Hub for Container Image Sharing
    5m 23s
    In this video, you'll learn how to use Docker Hub to find and share container images with others. You'll discover that it's a hosted repository service provided by Docker that allows you to host and share container images. It comes with various features, including private and public repositories, automated builds, and the ability to pull and push container images. FREE ACCESS
  • Locked
    9.  Docker and Container Ecosystems
    3m 18s
    In this video, you'll learn more about using Docker to manage container ecosystems. You'll discover that Docker provides several tools to manage container ecosystems, including Docker Machine, Docker Swarm, and Docker Compose. You'll also learn how to use Docker Machine to provision and manage hosts running Docker Engine on them. FREE ACCESS

    10.  Docker Registry for Application Packaging
    5m 9s
    In this video, you'll learn more about Docker Registry and how it can be used to standardize application packaging and distribution. You'll learn that Docker Registry is an alternative to Docker Hub and is good for use cases where the distribution pipeline, image storage and development workflows associated with Docker are controlled internally. FREE ACCESS

    11.  Containers on AWS
    3m 54s
    In this video, you'll learn more about the benefits of using AWS to run containers. You'll discover that AWS is a platform that provides on-demand cloud computing resources and APIs on a pay-as-you-go basis. It's created and maintained by Amazon and is currently the world's most used cloud platform. Benefits of AWS include reliability, security, and scalability. FREE ACCESS

    12.  Continuous Delivery with Containers
    4m 50s
    In this video, you'll learn more about how containers enable a more efficient Continuous Delivery system and why they're needed for site reliability engineering. You'll discover that Continuous Delivery and Continuous Integration are major pieces of most software organizations' development workflows. The fundamental idea behind Continuous Integration is that a team of developers works in an agile environment where they frequently merge small updates to the main repository branch of a product.
