In this guided project, you will understand the flow of building and deploying containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes. Starting from the creation of your Dockerfile, going through the Docker image build, and up to scaling the application on Kubernetes, you'll have a practical step-by-step walkthrough of the complete deployment process. Throughout this project, you'll create the Kubernetes objects required for the application deployment and scaling including Pods, Deployments, and Services. You'll also learn how to expose your application to receive traffic from external clients. We'll apply these skills to create a scalable and highly-available containerized application deployment on Kubernetes. This project will help aspiring DevOps engineers to understand the build and deployment process of containers on Kubernetes in a real-world scenario. To make the most out of this project, it is recommended to have a basic understanding of Docker commands and the concept of containers.
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
Task 1: Create a Dockerfile for containerizing the application
Task 2: Build a container image from the Dockerfile and push it to Dockerhub
Task 3: Create a Pod using the image and scale it with a Kubernetes Deployment
Practice Activity
Task 4: Deploy and scale Pods using declarative YAML manifests
Task 5: Update container image using Deployment rollout strategy
Cumulative Challenge
- Basic Docker commands for building, pushing, and tagging images.
- Familiarity with provisioning a Kubernetes Cluster.
