If you’re already familiar with DevOps practices and are wondering if these methods can apply to databases as well, this is the course for you. In this project-focused course from CloudSkills, instructor Michael Levan reveals how DevOps for databases is not all that different from what you might already be doing. Michael starts off with some basics of DevOps for databases, like why it’s important, and the tools you use in DevOps today that can be used with databases. He then gets into the project, showing how to create a MySQL database with Terraform, and how to take that same Terraform configuration and automate, via CI/CD, the MySQL dataset creation with Azure DevOps. If you’ve been wondering why you might want to use DevOps for databases, this course provides some answers—you no longer have to hold up app delivery; collaboration between teams means better deployment outcomes, procedures, and automation—along with a project you can work on that illustrates these benefits.

Containers are an amazingly versatile and powerful tool in the DevOps toolkit that can remove or smooth over a lot of the usual pain points in application development. Instructor Josh Samuelson goes over what containers are, where and when you can use them, and how to manage them well. Josh begins with a thorough explanation of what containers are, why you should use them, and how containers differ from VMs. He covers using containers in development, packaging, and production, with examples and factors to consider for each. Josh concludes with an in-depth look at how you can use Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Mesos, and cloud container solutions to manage your containers effectively.

Learn the basics of software containers, an instrumental component of any DevOps strategy.

Software containers are the future of app deployment—and an instrumental component of any DevOps strategy. They package everything a program needs to run, allowing developers to move applications from one environment to another relatively hassle free. In this course, cloud-computing luminary David Linthicum dives into the exciting world of software containers. David goes over the basics of containers, including an overview of the fundamental steps involved in building container-based software, followed by some examples of real-world applications that leverage containers. The course concludes with container standards and best practices, and the tools, processes, and skills a DevOps professional needs to work with them.
