This comprehensive course teaches you the fundamentals of Docker and Kubernetes from scratch with practical, hands-on examples. You will start by understanding microservices architecture and cloud-native concepts, then move into containerization using Docker. The course explains how containers work, how to build and run them using Docker CLI, and how to manage images through Docker Hub.

You will also learn how to create multi-container applications using Docker Compose and understand how real-world applications are structured in production environments. A dedicated section introduces Visual Studio Code extensions that simplify container management and debugging.

After mastering Docker, the course transitions into Kubernetes, covering its architecture, core components, and how to run Kubernetes locally. You will explore key concepts like Pods, Nodes, Namespaces, and different workload types including Deployments, ReplicaSets, StatefulSets, and Jobs.

The course also explains scaling, rolling updates, services (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer), and storage management. You will gain practical experience with ConfigMaps, Secrets, probes, and observability tools.

By the end of this course, you will be able to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using industry-standard tools and workflows, making it ideal for backend developers and DevOps beginners.
