Detailed Curriculum & Learning Outcomes

This modular is structured to deliver professional-level Java backend skills, from core concepts to microservices deployment.

Key Takeaways

Understand container concepts and create optimized Docker images.

Compose multi-container applications with Docker Compose.

Deploy, manage, and scale applications using Kubernetes primitives (Pods, Deployments, Services).

Use CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, and release workflows.

Implement observability: logging, metrics, and tracing with Prometheus & Grafana.

Secure containerized applications and Kubernetes clusters (RBAC, Network Policies, Secrets).

Apply GitOps principles for continuous delivery with ArgoCD/Flux (concepts & hands-on).

Troubleshoot, profile, and harden containerized systems for reliability.

Hands-on Project Development

Containerize a multi-service application, orchestrate it on Kubernetes, implement CI pipelines, observability, security controls, and demonstrate GitOps-driven updates. The capstone focuses on operational readiness, troubleshooting, and documentation.

Containerization Best Practices

Create minimal, secure, multi-stage Docker images and curated registries.

Kubernetes Operational Patterns

Use Deployments, Services, PVs, ConfigMaps/Secrets, and probes to run reliable workloads.

CI/CD & GitOps

Automate builds/tests and use GitOps to manage Kubernetes manifests and release flows.

Observability & Incident Response

Implement Prometheus/Grafana dashboards and a logging pipeline; execute an incident drill with runbooks.
