Docker from A to Z™: Swarm + Jenkins from Udemy

So, you've heard a lot about Docker, but you don't know how to get started? This Udemy course is exactly what you need. This course will teach you all the fundamentals you need. Trust me, you won't need any other course to reach the intermediate/advanced level after this course.

In this course, you'll learn the tools and knowledge to build an enterprise worthy Docker Swarm cluster and Jenkins CD pipeline. This will revolutionize how you develop and deploy your applications. You won't have to worry anymore about the environment differences and inconsistent deployment processes. With the simple push of your code to a repository, your system will auto-magically test, build, and start your applications.

The course's curriculum goes as such:

You'll get started with Docker and run your first Web App
You'll learn to use Docker Compose
You'll learn to use Docker Swarm
You'll practice with Real World examples
You'll learn a lot of Docker tips & tricks
You'll learn how to use Docker Registry
You'll learn to use Docker + Jenkins
You'll learn to alert, monitor and manage with Docker

The course is aimed to be as complete as possible. It will include a lot of practice so that nothing stays theoretical, and the quality is in Full HD, so that you can see everything on-screen.

NOTICE: I'll keep adding more and more content to the course to make it the best Docker course on Udemy.
