Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Detail the various aspects of containerization technology and its ecosystem
See how Kubernetes works, and its internal and external components
Understand interactions with the private/public cloud and legacy system
Know the benefits and limits of micro-service architectures in both technical and organizational terms.

Course schedule

1
Fundamentals

  • Application in 12 factors, integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD), Cloud-native applications.
  • SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, object and block storage. Private, public, hybrid cloud: Problem of lock-in.
  • Elastic architecture, Cattle versus Pet, Infrastructure as Code.
  • Existing tools (Terraform, Ansible). Bebefit of containers versus Virtual Machines.
  • CaaS in an enterprise: interoperability, Devops organization, digital transformation.
  • Bimodal IT and DevOps.
Demonstration
Cloud IaaS: Digital Ocean, MS-Azure.

2
Docker

  • Basic concepts: Immutability, image, layers, registry, network and storage issues.
  • Automation with Dockerfile/docker-compose, integration with Github, Jenkins, DockerHub.
  • Expected benefits: Reproducibility, manageability.
  • Benefits in terms of elasticity, agility, upgradability.
  • Impacts on development and infrastructure teams.
Demonstration
Building, modifying, and publishing Docker images.

3
Kubernetes, container orchestrator.

  • Master/Workers nodes, concepts of Pods, service, different types of Ingress Controller.
  • Storage: stateful, stateless, shared (NFS, GlusterFS, CEPH, rook).
  • Configuration management. Using Jobs and DaemonSets.
  • Internal component (etcd, kubelet, kube-dns, kube-proxy, apiserver), complementary (Helm/Tiller, envoy, side-car proxy).
  • Service Discovery/Mesh (Istio), calico, cilium.
Demonstration
Building a cluster and deploying a complete stack (including Wordpress).

4
Container as a Service (CaaS)

  • Standardization: OCI, CNCF, CNI, CSI, CRI.
  • Cloud/Managed solutions: Amazon AWS ECS and EKS and Fargate, Google GCP, Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean.
  • Most common On-Premises solutions: Docker DataCenter, Rancher, RedHat OpenShift.
  • Evolution to Serverless.

5
Security of CaaS/Kubernetes/Docker

  • Infrastructure security: partitioning, RBAC, vault/secret, logs.
  • Securing containers (runtime): Seccomp, SElinux, Apparmor, Linux Capabilities, PodSecurityPolicies.
  • Securing the Supply Chain: registry, notary, compliance check
Demonstration
Specific attacks, L3/L4/L7 micro-segmentation. Scanning an image’s vulnerabilities, container hardening, exporting real-time logs in Splunk.

Formation très instructive sur les containers et orchestrateurs avec un formateur qui sait bien illustrer et faire comprendre des concepts assez techniques.

Merci pour la formation et son contenu. Merci pour cet outil simulant un tableau dynamique. Mon objectif était de briser la glace et avoir moins de frustration par rapport à ce que je vois sur linked, je peux dire que c’est atteint et je suis prêt à aller plus loin. Dommage que certains aspects soient restés astraits mais dans l’ ensemble c’est un véritable mille feuilles pas très simple mais avec la prratique je pourrais rapidement creuser sur des points précis.
