Java Containerization and Deployment on Azure

Transitioning Java applications to the cloud requires a solid understanding of modern containerization and orchestration. This text-based course guides you through the essential steps to package, manage, and run your Java workloads reliably on cloud infrastructure. You will transition from writing local Java code to deploying production-ready containerized applications. You will gain hands-on knowledge of packaging applications efficiently, managing secure container repositories, and configuring robust deployments on Kubernetes. What you'll learn: - Understand core containerization principles and how to write efficient multi-stage Dockerfiles for Java applications. - Configure Azure Container Registry to securely store, version, and manage your container images. - Deploy and scale Java applications on Azure Kubernetes Service using standard configuration files. - Apply modern container practices, including setting JVM resource limits and using lightweight base images. - Manage application configurations and environment variables safely within a Kubernetes cluster. The course begins with foundational container concepts and Docker basics before moving step-by-step through registry setup and cloud deployment strategies. You will read through practical configurations and real-world deployment scenarios designed to build your confidence. This course is designed for Java developers and system administrators new to cloud deployments, with no prior container or Kubernetes experience required.
