Resilient Architecture: Microservices, Containers, and CI/CD

• Basic knowledge of software development
• Understanding of cloud computing concepts
• Familiarity with Linux command-line usage

Audience

• Software Developers
• DevOps Engineers
• Cloud Architects
• System Administrators

Resilient architecture is the foundation of modern, scalable applications. This course covers microservices architecture, container-based application design, and CI/CD deployment strategies to build highly available and fault-tolerant systems.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level to advanced-level developers, DevOps professionals, and architects who wish to design, deploy, and manage resilient applications using microservices, containers, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and implement microservices architecture.
• Deploy and manage containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Set up and optimize CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments.
• Apply best practices for security, monitoring, and observability.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
