    Containerization plays a critical role in modern cloud application development by enabling portability, consistency, scalability, and DevOps efficiency. This course introduces learners to containers and the ecosystem of technologies that support containerized applications, including Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Istio.

    You will begin by understanding the need for containerization and how containers differ from traditional deployment models. The course then explores Docker concepts, container images, and container registries, followed by container orchestration using Kubernetes. You will learn how Kubernetes manages deployments, scaling, updates, and configuration of containerized applications.

    Through hands-on labs, you will work with container platforms in the cloud, deploy applications using Kubernetes, and explore OpenShift as an enterprise-grade container platform. The course concludes with a final project in which you build and deploy a containerized application, allowing you to apply your learning in a practical, real-world scenario relevant to cloud and DevOps roles.

    This course comprises 5 purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey.

    It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules.It is anticipated that if you work 3-4 hours per week, you will complete the course in 4 weeks. However, as long as the course is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And dont worry, youre not alone! You will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community through the course discussion space.

    The materials for each module are accessible from the start of the course and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. Methods of learning and assessment will include discussion space, videos, reading material, quizzes, hands-on labs, quizzes and final assignment.

    Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your IBM Certificate.

    You will be able to:

    • Explain containerization concepts and benefits for cloud-native applications.
    • Build and manage container images using Docker.
    • Deploy and orchestrate applications using Kubernetes.
    • Manage containerized workloads using OpenShift.
    • Apply Kubernetes architecture concepts for container management.
    • Deploy and scale container-based applications in the cloud.

    • Developers new to containerization and cloud-native technologies
    • Professionals pursuing cloud, DevOps, or platform engineering roles
    • Learners preparing to work with Kubernetes and container platforms
    • Individuals seeking hands-on experience with modern application deployment

    • Basic computer skills
    • General understanding of cloud computing concepts
    • Familiarity with command-line tools, shell commands, and introductory cloud environments
