Course Overview
![Docker & Kubernetes: The Practical Guide [2025 Edition]](https://i.udemycdn.com/course/480x270/3490000_d298_2.jpg)
Learn Docker, Docker Compose, Multi-Container Projects, Deployment and all about Kubernetes from the ground up!
Join this bestselling Docker & Kubernetes course and learn two of the most important development technologies from the ground up, in great detail!
-
Docker & Kubernetes are amongst the most in-demand technologies and topics you can learn these days.
Why?
Because they significantly simplify the development and deployment process of both simple and complex software projects. Especially in web development (though not limited to that), Docker can really take you to the next level!
With Docker, you create and manage so-called "Containers" - basically packages of code and tools required to run that code. These containers allow you to run your programs in a predictable, environment-independent way - no matter where you need to run it.
For modern DevOps (Development Operations) but also for local development - on your own or in a team - this is a winner feature since you will no longer have any "but it worked on my machine" discussions. It works inside of a container, hence it works everywhere!
This course will teach you both Docker & Kubernetes from the ground up with all the required theory and tons of examples and demos!
We'll explore all key concepts in detail and with practical examples and demos - from images and containers, over volumes and networking all the way up to deployment and Kubernetes Cluster: This course has it all!
In detail, this course includes the following topics:
A thorough introduction to Docker, containers and why you might want to use Docker
Detailed setup instructions for macOS and Windows
A deep-dive into the core concepts you need to know: Containers & images
Learn how to create custom images, use existing images and how to run containers based on such images
Get a detailed overview of the core commands you need when working with Docker
Learn how to work with data and how to persist data with volumes
Explore container networking - with the outside world and between multiple containers
Learn how to work with both single and multi-container projects
In-depth deployment instructions: Manual deployment and deployment with managed services like AWS ECS
Understand Kubernetes core concepts & architecture
Learn how to create Kubernetes resources, deployments, services and how to run your containers with Kubernetes
Dive deeply into working with data in Kubernetes projects - with different types of volumes
Kubernetes networking and DNS service discovery
Learn how to deploy your Kubernetes project (at the example of AWS EKS)
And much more!
All these topics are taught in great detail with slides and theory but also, most importantly, with many examples and demo!
You'll find tons of demo projects throughout the course - using programming languages like NodeJS, Python or PHP (with Laravel). You don't need to know these languages to follow along though, no worries!

Top notch course, I have been wanting to dive into Kubernetes since last 5 years but I found it daunting. MS made it super easy and intuitive to follow along. Kudos mate!

I really enjoyed this course for the most part and learned a lot throughout the lessons. Maximilian’s teaching style is clear, structured, and easy to follow. However, there’s one section that brought down the overall experience for me — the “Deploying Docker Containers” section. Because of that, I’m giving the course 4 stars instead of 5. Adding “[2025]” is definitely clickbait! Up until lesson 141, this course was perfect. Maximilian is a great teacher, but the “Deploying Docker Containers” section of the course is WAY TOO outdated. If I’m taking a course that has “[2025]” in the title, I should not have to spend over an hour (sometimes multiple hours) using AI tools and other resources just to follow along with a 5–10 minute lesson. I’d expect the videos to be up to date, especially because “[2025]” is in the title of the course. I’m aware that technology changes at a rapid pace, but some of these videos were recorded more than four years ago, and AWS’s interface has changed drastically since then. The “Deploying Docker Containers” section, starting from ECS (Lecture 141: Deploying with AWS ECS: A Managed Docker Container Service), needs to be updated ASAP!

Excellent explanation and content. It's better if you also touch up on the secrets, other networking solutions available for Kubernetes like CNI's and Ingress, service mesh and Helm. Thank you for wonderful content.
