Docker in Production: Orchestration and Deployment Strategies

Deploying containers locally is straightforward, but running them reliably in a production environment introduces complex challenges around uptime, scaling, and resource management. This text-based course bridges the gap between development and production, giving you the knowledge to run containerized applications at scale. You will transition from basic container concepts to robust deployment workflows. What you'll learn: Understand core production container concepts and architecture; Configure container resources, limits, and logging for stable environments; Explore orchestration principles using Docker Swarm and Kubernetes; Apply zero-downtime deployment strategies like rolling updates; Configure basic container monitoring and health checks; Implement production security best practices and secure secrets management. The course begins with essential production terminology and architectural fundamentals before guiding you through scaling strategies, orchestration tools, and modern deployment workflows. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and DevOps beginners who already know basic Docker commands and want to learn production-level operations.
