Beginner-level video course on containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes. The Docker half covers installing Docker, pulling images such as NGINX, running and naming containers, exposing ports, volumes between host and containers, writing Dockerfiles for a Node.js/Express API, .dockerignore, caching and layers, Alpine base images, tags and versions, pushing to a Docker Hub repository, and inspect, logs and exec. The Kubernetes half explains the architecture and core components — pods, services, ingress, ConfigMaps, secrets, volumes, deployments and StatefulSets — then uses Minikube and kubectl to create deployments, debug pods, apply manifests and deploy MongoDB with Mongo Express. Aimed at developers and IT beginners with no prior container experience.
