Kubernetes and Docker Container Foundations

This workshop will enable the participants to learn about the basics of industry leading Docker Containers and Container Orchestrators. The learners will be able to appreciate on how software is being designed, developed, packaged, and delivered based on the topics covered. This course aims to educate participants on the concept of Docker Container Orchestration based on Kubernetes.

Led by an expert instructor, this foundational workshop provides a walkthrough of each major feature and capability of Docker Containers and Kubernetes offers. Learn how to apply these concepts and features by work with hands-on exercises as part of the Labs. 

At the end of the training course, attendees will know how to work on container and kubernetes environments.
