DevOps Foundations: Containers

Containers are an amazingly versatile and powerful tool in the DevOps toolkit that can remove or smooth over a lot of the usual pain points in application development. Instructor Josh Samuelson goes over what containers are, where and when you can use them, and how to manage them well. Josh begins with a thorough explanation of what containers are, why you should use them, and how containers differ from VMs. He covers using containers in development, packaging, and production, with examples and factors to consider for each. Josh concludes with an in-depth look at how you can use Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Mesos, and cloud container solutions to manage your containers effectively.
