Docker, Kubernetes & DevOps — Zero to Hero

2h 27m total

A hands-on path from your first `docker run` to operating a cloud-native system end to end. You will build images with Dockerfiles, compose multi-container stacks, deploy to Kubernetes with pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps and probes, ship code through a GitHub Actions pipeline, provision infrastructure as code with Terraform, and wire up observability and SRE practices. Prose, real manifests, an in-browser container terminal, prediction drills, ordering and matching activities, checklists, and mentor-chat prompts rehearse every skill in the format that fits it, building to a capstone where you containerize an app, wire CI/CD, and deploy it to a cluster.
