Docker and Kubernetes for Developers: From Code to Cloud

About this course

Master Docker and Kubernetes — the most in-demand tools in modern DevOps and cloud development.This practical, hands-on course takes you from zero to full deployment with real-world projects and workflows used by professional developers. You’ll learn how to work with Linux, the backbone of most containerized and cloud systems — mastering essential commands, navigation, and environment management needed to confidently operate in a DevOps environment.Starting with Docker, you’ll build and manage container images, understand how containers streamline development and deployment, and push your images to Docker Hub. Then, you’ll move into Kubernetes fundamentals — creating and managing Pods, Deployments, and Namespaces, and configuring Services and Ingress for internal and external communication.You’ll go beyond theory by learning how to make your code suitable to run in Kubernetes, adapting web applications for containerized, cloud-native environments. The course also shows how to use NGINX within Kubernetes for load balancing, reverse proxying, and exposing your applications securely to the web — an essential real-world skill for production systems.You’ll gain experience with Linux, Minikube, Kubernetes, Rancher, and YAML configuration files, learning how to manage clusters and automate deployments efficiently. Every lesson builds practical understanding through direct examples and demonstrations.By the end of this course, you’ll be able to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and NGINX, applying industry-standard DevOps practices to take your projects from code to cloud with confidence and precision.
