Docker and Kubernetes for ASP.NET Developers

Modern software development demands scalable, portable, and reliable deployment strategies. Moving your ASP.NET applications to containers ensures consistency across development, testing, and production environments. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of containerization and orchestration specifically tailored for ASP.NET developers. You will transition from running local .NET applications to managing multi-container deployments in a local Kubernetes cluster, all through clear written explanations and structured code snippets. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of containerization, images, and registries. - Write efficient multi-stage Dockerfiles optimized for ASP.NET Core applications. - Manage application configuration and secrets securely in containerized environments. - Configure local Kubernetes clusters and understand pods, deployments, and services. - Apply container security best practices, including running applications as non-root users. - Deploy and scale multi-container ASP.NET applications with Docker Compose and Kubernetes. The course begins with key containerization terminology and basic Docker commands before progressing to multi-stage builds for .NET. You will then explore orchestration concepts, learning how to define and deploy Kubernetes manifests for your ASP.NET services. This course is designed for .NET and ASP.NET developers who are new to containers and orchestration. No prior experience with Docker or Kubernetes is required.
