What you will learn in this course:
You'll start with a quick review about getting set up with Docker, as well as Docker Compose basics. That way we're on the same page for the basics.
Then you'll jump into Node.
js Dockerfile basics, that way you'll have a good Dockerfile foundation for new features we'll add throughout the course.
You'll be building on all the different things you learn from each Lecture in the course. Once you have the basics down of Compose, Dockerfile, and Docker Image, then you'll focus on nuances like how Docker and Linux control the Node process and how Docker changes that to make sure you know what options there are for starting up and shutting down Node.
js and the right way to do it in different scenarios.
We'll cover advanced, newer features around making the Dockerfile the most efficient and flexible as possible using things like BuildKit and Multi-stage.
Then we'll talk about distributed computing and cloud design to ensure your Node.
js apps have 12-factor design in your containers, as well as learning how to migrate old apps into this new way of doing things.
Next we cover Compose and its awesome features to get really efficient local development and test set-up using the Docker Compose command line and Docker Compose YAML file.
With all this knowledge, you'll progress to production concerns and making images production-ready.
Then we'll jump into deploying those containers and running them in production. Whether you use Docker Engine or orchestration with Kubernetes or Swarm, I've got you covered. In addition, we'll cover HTTP connections and reverse proxies for connection handling and routing with multi-container systems.
Lastly, you'll get a final, big assignment where you'll be building and deploying a large, complex solution, including multiple Node.
js containers that are doing different things. You'll build Docker images, Dockerfiles, and compose files, and deploy them to a server to test. You'll need to check whether connections failover properly. You'll basically take everything you've learned and apply it in one big project!"Bret knows, lives, breaths and loves his technology stack. The passion and belief always comes through in all of his courses which is why I will always recommend his work." Steven Hunt, Udemy student, Docker Swarm Mastery courseWhy should you learn from me?

Hey I'm Bret.Thanks for learning about me. I'm a freelance DevOps and Docker consultant, trainer, speaker, and Open Source volunteer working from Virginia Beach, USA. I've helped over 150,000 people learn Docker and DevOps tools and techniques.
I've been a cloud and datacenter ops/sysadmin for more than20 years. For years I've been exclusive to containers and I help teams Dockerize their apps and systems, and improve their speed of deployment, resiliency, metrics, and awareness. All that DevOps-y stuff.
I'm also a Docker Captain and Code for America Brigade Captain. I runmonthly meetups, speak at conferences, and love helping others. I'm obsessed with containerizing any app I see, and I'll likely talk your ear off about it next time we meet.
I sometimes develop in Node.js, Bash, and general web, usually for open source.
When not working, I crossfit, surf a little, geekout in our awesome local dev community in Virginia Beach, and travel with my Wife.
Please check out my courses and join me with thousands of others who are learning the latest DevOps tools!
