Who is organizing this training?

We enhance both individual development and efficiency by sharing the IT expertise and managerial experience of our instructors. We offer over 300 courses in French and English at our center in Capellen. These courses focus on infrastructure, development, project management, governance, and soft skills.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of core Java and core containers

Goals

Microservices are smaller and independent services within larger applications. This course provides the required skills to design, implement and deploy microservices using container technology.
The students will learn how to use the Spring Boot stack to develop microservices, Docker to package them into containers, and Kubernetes to orchestrate and manage them at scale. The course covers the CI/CD process to automate the delivery of microservices.

Containers

What is this Container-thing developers are talking about? And why should
you use it? In this module you will get an overview of what containers
are, and how to use them on Windows and Linux.

Why Containers?
Containers vs Virtual Machines
Linux and Windows Containers
Container Orchestration

Docker

A container needs to be hosted and run on a container runtime. Several
options are available like rkt, runC, ... In this course, our emphasis
will be on the most widely used one: Docker. You will learn how to create,
run, and scale containers using Docker.

Running Docker
Containers, Images and Registries
Building an Image
Port Mapping and Volumes
Container Orchestration
LAB: Simple node.js in Docker

Developing ASP.NET Applications with Containers

Now that you understand what a container is, the next question is: how do
you package your applications into containers? In this module, you'll
learn how to Dockerize your ASP.NET applications, and how to run and debug
them.

ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core?
Official .NET Docker Images
Containerizing Dependencies
Tools
LAB: File Uploader

Azure for Container Overview

Azure has many constructs that have to do with containers and
microservices. It's a bit overwhelming, really. This module will help you
separate the sheep from the goats, to figure out exactly what you need.

Azure Container Registry
Hosting Containers: Container Instances, AKS, Service Fabric, ACA
Deploy with Containers: Web Apps and Functions

Microservice Architecture

How do you chop your application into multiple smaller components, called
"microservices", and why would you do that? Here, we will show
you how to create microservice-applications and introduce you to some key
concepts of microservices like data isolation, resiliency, and
communication.

Dealing with Evolution in an Application
Benefits and Drawbacks
Scaling
Communication: Client-Service, Service-Service, Event-Based
Data Isolation per Microservice

Kubernetes

When employing containers for microservices, you'll inevitably have
numerous containers spread across multiple machines. Kubernetes emerges as
an open-source solution for managing your infrastructure. In this module,
we delve into this widely adopted orchestrator.

Kubernetes Cluster
Kubectl and YAML
Workloads: Pods and Deployments
Communication: Services and Ingresses
Scaling and Updates
Health Monitoring
LAB: Set up your first Kubernetes Cluster

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Once you've developed your microservice application, the next step is
deploying it to the cloud. Azure provides various methods for this
purpose, but Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers the most comprehensive
options. In this module, you'll become a master of Azure
Kubernetes Service.

Putting a Kubernetes Cluster in Azure
AKS Features
Using Helm Charts
LAB: Using Kubernetes on Azure

Azure Container Apps

Managing scalable containers on a Kubernetes cluster in Azure, but without
the complexity. Sounds like a dream? It's not, this is exactly what Azure
Container Apps are all about. In this module you will learn how to set up
a serverless container solution using event-driven scaling.

Container Apps and Environments
Event-based Scaling with KEDA
Working with Revisions
Integrating with Dapr Components
Network and Ingress
Authentication and Service Connection
LAB: Message Processing and Scaling with Container Apps

API Gateways

This module will give you some insights how to create an API Gateway for
your microservices. Using an API Gateway makes building a client
application a lot easier.
