Course Overview

Containers and Kubernetes have transformed how applications are developed, deployed, and managed in modern cloud environments. Containers offer a lightweight, portable solution for running applications consistently across various systems, while Kubernetes serves as the leading container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling, and operations of containerized applications. When combined with Microsoft Azure, these technologies provide a powerful, scalable, and secure infrastructure for managing enterprise-grade workloads. Learning about Containers and Kubernetes on Azure is essential for IT professionals, developers, and cloud engineers who want to efficiently manage microservices, streamline DevOps workflows, and harness cloud-native capabilities.

This course begins with an introduction to containers, comparing them to traditional virtual machines and exploring their benefits. It then covers container orchestration concepts and introduces Azure Container Instances (ACI), guiding learners through hands-on labs that include deployment via the CLI and building custom containerized applications using Azure Container Registry. The course progresses into Docker fundamentals and essential terminologies before shifting focus to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Learners explore AKS features, node and cluster architecture, networking, volumes, and security, including integration with Azure Active Directory. Practical lab activities further solidify understanding of Kubernetes architecture, service accounts, and access control through roles and cluster roles.

This course equips learners to deploy, manage, and secure containerized applications on Azure using industry-standard tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
