Certificate in Kubernetes and Docker

Course details

Containers provide portable environments for hosting an application, or parts of an application. Docker is a set of platform as a service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels.

Kubernetes is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management.

This certification covers the popular container platform and their management - Kubernetes and Docker.

Note: Please note that the course comes with online e-learning (videos) only. No hard copy will be provided.

Pre-requisite: Basic knowledge of Linux Command line
