In this intense bootcamp, you’ll encounter containers for the first time, learn to orchestrate them into scalable, highly available applications orchestrated by Docker Swarm, and finally discover how to enhance the security of your entire software supply chain and production environments using Mirantis Kubernetes Engine and Mirantis Secure Registry. This bundle is ideal for students who are just starting out with containerization and want to leverage the full power of Swarm and the Mirantis orchestration platform as soon as possible.
