After this course you can take an application from source code to production: control changes with Git, build CI/CD flows, create images, roll out workloads on Kubernetes and monitor services with Prometheus. The content follows the topics of the current 701-200 exam. It suits you if you are an administrator or developer who wants to move closer to software delivery and already find your way around the Linux command line.
What you’ll take away.
- Manage source code with Git and design CI/CD flows
- Build container images and run containers with Docker and Podman
- Deploy applications on Kubernetes and package them with Helm
- Monitor services with Prometheus, analyse logs and interpret traces
- Take security and licensing questions into account in software delivery
