IL - Running Containers on Azure
Course Overview
This course covers different approaches for building container-based applications and deploying them into Azure. You will start with learning the foundations of containers using Docker. From there, you will learn the fundamentals of the container orchestration service Kubernetes. This course will explore the Kubernetes architecture and concepts to cover topics such as Masters, Nodes, Pods, Desired State and the Declarative Model and much more. In the final module, you will learn how to effectively run containers on Azure using both Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Instances.
