Python in Containers

Description

Docker and Kubernetes are must-have skills for Python engineers these days. Whether your focus is on machine learning and data science or you use Python as a general programming language, you must understand Docker and Kubernetes, as they form the basis of modern cloud-native applications built using microservice architectures. In this course, you'll learn to do the following: • Develop and explore machine learning, data science, and Jupyter Notebooks in Docker • Run machine learning models in production with Kubernetes and Docker Swarm • Package your Python code into containers • Publish your containers in image registries • Deploy containers to production, both in Docker and Kubernetes • Build highly modular, container-based services in a microservices way • Monitor and maintain containerized apps You can use the course in two ways: • If you use Python for machine learning and data science, go top-down - start with section 7 to quickly develop practical Docker skills and use sections 2 to 6 to delve deeper into specific container topics • If you want to use Python for building web apps and microservices, try the bottom-up approach - use the course in a linear way All the resource files are uploaded on the GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Python-in-Containers

What You Will Learn

Build container images having Python applications and ship them to Docker Hub
Run Jupyter Notebooks and create virtual machines in Docker
Use Docker Desktop for Windows Pro and macOS and Docker Toolbox for Windows Home
Create custom container images from scratch and automate container image builds with Dockerfile
Design Flask and Django multi-container deployments and automate them with Docker Compose
Containerize TensorFlow models into microservices and use Kubernetes with Minikube on a development host
Deploy complex multi-container applications in Docker Swarm and Kubernetes

Audience

This course is for Python programmers, data scientists, and machine learning engineers who want to use Python with Docker tools for building modern cloud-native applications.

Approach

The course will develop your practical Docker skills and you can master Kubernetes and design your applications to run on Kubernetes

Key Features

Become well-versed with using Docker tools to create top-class containers running your Python code * Master Docker runtime tools such as Compose and Swarm * Design your applications to run on Kubernetes and master writing Kubernetes object declarations
