This course is designed to equip you with the skills to build and deploy cloud-native applications using Docker, Kubernetes, and .NET technologies. Through a hands-on approach, you'll learn how to containerize applications, work with Docker Compose, and deploy applications using Kubernetes. By the end of the course, you’ll be comfortable developing applications that are both scalable and maintainable in modern cloud environments.

The course begins with an introduction to cloud-native development and its significance in modern software engineering. You will also explore a sample project to understand how to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios. From there, the focus shifts to understanding containers, specifically Docker, where you’ll learn how to create, configure, and manage containers for .NET applications. By working with Docker, you will gain insights into containerization technologies, including differences between containers and virtual machines. The journey continues with Docker Compose, where you'll manage multi-container applications by integrating databases, UI components, and APIs. Networking concepts such as reverse proxies and SSL termination are covered, enabling you to build more secure and scalable applications. As you progress, you'll also delve into publishing custom images and managing environments with Docker Compose. Later sections introduce Kubernetes, which takes container orchestration to the next level, focusing on deployment, scaling, and resource management. This course is ideal for developers and IT professionals who want to learn modern software engineering practices with a focus on cloud-native technologies. Prior knowledge of Docker, .NET, and basic cloud concepts will be helpful, though not mandatory. The course is suitable for those looking to enhance their skills in cloud application development, containerization, and orchestration using Kubernetes.
