Syllabus

From App to Containers

Build cloud-native .NET applications with Docker. Explore cloud-native architecture, development environment setup, containerization, multi-stage Dockerfiles, container registries, Docker Compose, and multi-service application deployment with PostgreSQL.

Orchestration and Observability

Orchestrate distributed .NET applications with .NET Aspire and implement observability using OpenTelemetry. Configure service discovery, resilience patterns, logging, metrics, traces, health checks, and diagnose application issues through centralized monitoring dashboards.

Cloud Deployment and Automation

Deploy cloud-native .NET applications to Azure and automate delivery with GitHub Actions. Work with Azure Container Apps, managed PostgreSQL, configuration and secrets, application scaling, monitoring, CI/CD pipelines, automated builds, testing, and container deployment.
