Containerization

Visual Studio Code is an integrated development environment made by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded Git.

Build a Containerization Platform

Use Docker and Kubernetes to build a containerization platform for deploying applications

In this project, we will be building a containerization platform using Docker and Kubernetes. Containerization allows us to package applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers that can be easily deployed and scaled on any infrastructure.

Project Checklist

  • Install and set up Docker and Kubernetes on a local or cloud-based infrastructure
  • Create Docker images for the applications to be deployed
  • Deploy the Docker images to a Kubernetes cluster using deployment yaml files
  • Configure and manage the deployment and scaling of the applications using Kubernetes

Bonus Project Checklist Items

  • Implement continuous delivery to automatically deploy new versions of the applications
  • Set up monitoring and logging tools to track the health and performance of the containers and applications
  • Integrate with a cloud provider (such as AWS or GCP) for added scalability and management capabilities

Inspiration (Any companies/libraries similar)

  • Docker Cloud
  • Google Kubernetes Engine
  • AWS Elastic Container Service

Hint/Code snippet to start

To get started, you can use the following code snippet to create a basic Docker image for a Java application: ```
# Dockerfile for a Java application

FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine

ADD . /app

WORKDIR /app

EXPOSE 8080

CMD ["java", "-jar", "app.jar"]
