Docker and Kubernetes for Beginners

Introduction to Containerization

Containerization is a modern approach to packaging and deploying applications. Docker and Kubernetes are key technologies in this area.

What is Docker?

Docker allows you to package an application and all its dependencies into a container that runs in isolation. This ensures the application runs the same in development and production environments.

Kubernetes Basics

Kubernetes is an orchestration platform for automating deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. It solves problems like load balancing, rolling updates and self-healing.

When to Use What?

Use Docker for local development and simple deployment. Add Kubernetes when you need to scale across multiple servers or have complex microservice architecture.
