Welcome to the most complete and up-to-date course for learning and using containers end-to-end, from development and testing, to server deployments and production. Taught by an award-winning Docker Captain and DevOps consultant.
Just starting out with Docker? Perfect. This course starts out assuming you're new to containers.
Or: Using Docker now and need to deal with real-world problems? I'm here for you! See my production topics around Swarm, Kubernetes, secrets, logging, rolling upgrades, and more.
BONUS:
This course comes with Slack Chat and Live Weekly Q&A with me!"I've followed another course on (Udemy). This one is a million times more in depth." "...
when it comes to all the docker stuff, this is the course you're gonna want to take" - 2019 Student Udemy ReviewJust updated in November 2019 with sections on:
Docker Security top 10Docker 19.
03 release featuresWhy should you learn from me? Why trust me to teach you the best ways to use Docker?

(Hi, I'm Bret, please allow me to talk about myself for a sec):
I'm A Practitioner. Welcome to the real world: I've got 20 years of sysadmin and developerexperience, over 30 certifications, and have been using Docker and the container ecosystem for my consulting clients and my own companies since Docker's early days. Learn from someone who's run hundreds of containers across dozens of projects and organizations.
I'm An Educator. Learn from someone who knows how to make asyllabus: I want to help you. People say I'm good at it. For the last few years I've trained thousands of people on using Docker in workshops, conferences andmeetups. See me teach at events like DockerCon, O'Reilly Velocity, GOTOConf, and Linux Open Source Summit. I hope you'll decide to learn with me, and join the fantastic online Docker community.
I Lead Communities. Also, I'm a Docker Captain, meaning that Docker Inc. thinks I know a thing or two about Docker and that I do well in sharing it with others. In the real-world: I help run two local meetups in our fabulous tech community in Norfolk/Virginia Beach USA. I help online: usually in Slack andTwitter, where I learn from and help others."Because of the Docker Mastery course, Ilanded my first DevOps job. Thank you Captain!" - Student Ronald Alonzo"There are a lot of Docker courses on Udemy -- but ignore those, Bret is the single most qualified person to teach you." - Kevin Griffin, Microsoft MVPGiving Back: a portion of my profit on this course will be donated to supporting open source and protecting our freedoms online!
This course is only made possible by the amazing people creating open source. I'm standing on the shoulders of (open source) giants! Donations will be split between my favorite charities including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Free Software Foundation. Look them up. They're awesome!
This is a living course, and will be updated as Docker and Kubernetes features change.
This course is designed to be fast at getting you started but also get you deep into the "why" of things. Simply the fastest and best way to learn the latest container skills. Look at the scope of topics in the Session and see the breadth of skills you will learn.
Also included is a private Slack Chat group with 20k students for getting help with this course and continuing your Docker and DevOps learning with help from myself and other students."Bret's course is a level above all of those resources, and if you're struggling to get a handle on Docker, this is the resource you need to invest in." -Austin Tindle, Course StudentSome of the many cool things you'll do in this course:
Edit web code on your machine while it's served up in a containerLock down your apps in private networks that only expose necessary portsCreate a 3-node Swarm cluster in the cloudInstall Kubernetes and and learn the leading server cluster toolsUse Virtual IP's for built-in load balancing in your clusterOptimize your Dockerfiles for faster building and tiny deploysBuild/Publish your own custom application imagesLearn the differences between Kubernetes and SwarmCreate your own image registryUse Swarm Secrets to encrypt your environment configs, even on diskDeploy container updates in a rolling always-updesignCreate the config utopia of a single set of YAML files for local dev, CI testing, and prod cluster deploysAnd so much more...
After taking this course, you'll be able to:
Use Docker in your daily developer and/or sysadmin rolesDeploy apps to KubernetesMakeDockerfiles and Compose filesBuildmulti-node Swarm clusters and deploying H/A containersMake KubernetesYAMLmanifests and deploy using infrastructure-as-code methodsBuild a workflow of using Docker in dev, then test/CI, then production with YAMLProtect your keys, TLScertificates, and passwords with encrypted secretsKeep your Dockerfiles and images small, efficient, and fastRun apps in Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes and understand the pros/cons of eachDevelop locally while your code runs in a containerProtect important persistent data in volumes and bind mountsLead your team into the future with the latest Docker container skills!

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!

So far the course has been "meta-info" about docker and the personal anecdotes or the instructor and his career. I personally prefer concrete information and definitions like "docker is a container host" and "a container is a file-system".
Edit: I would like to add that I was prompted for a review during the first section and had (wrongly) assumed my review was for that section alone. My personal preference is to begin learning a new topic in a different manner. That said I am in section 7 and both enjoy the course and think it contains all of the technical information I was searching for.

Great course,
Nice teaching style, there is theory and practical tasks.
I definitely recommend it.

By Shailendra Karambe on 11/21/2020

The course is best and we enjoy the learning.

By Matthea Renehan on 11/21/2020

All topics are covered perfectly and was exactly what I needed and more!

By Dudley Needham on 11/21/2020

I am learning a lot, but the exercises can be a little misleading.
I understand the thought to implement what has been taught and to figure out the commands needed. But, the explanation and question need to be better defined.

By Bill Vitaniemi on 11/21/2020

The best Docker/Swarm/Kubernetes course yet that I've come across! Covers all of the basics you need to get started to get your applications moved into the world of containerization. The only short coming I see in this course is maybe that some of the material, this being the end of 2020, feels a bit dated? (Keep in mind I'm very new to docker though.)

By Avinash Kumar on 11/14/2020

please update the video ,very hard to relate ,many things are deprecated

By Prashant Garg on 11/14/2020

Kubernetes section could have more practical examples. Really enjoyed the docker and docker swarm part though.

Superb way of presenting a course. And keeping is alive. Awesome work by Bret Fisher

By B. James Maher on 11/14/2020

The teacher is very humble, knowledgeable, and positive, and reminds students that it takes time to learn docker, and that everyone makes mistakes when writing dockerfiles. Great teacher. Great course.
