Lesson 1: Application Containers and Kubernetes
L1-3R1.0
In this course you will learn about application containers and Kubernetes, and how they work
on the MapR Data Platform. You will begin by learning what application containers are. You
will also see how they are used in enterprise to help improve deployment time and
consistency, and the efficiency and availability of applications. Along the way, you will learn
key characteristics of what containers can, and cannot do, and how they compare to virtual
machines.
Once you know what containers are, you will learn about how Kubernetes is used to
orchestrate containers and the resources that they use, and how to take your enterprise
containers to the next level.
You will see how Kubernetes schedules the deployment of containers, scales container
resources, manages communication between applications in containers, and how it is used to
monitor the health and availability of containers.
Finally, you’ll take a look at how combining the MapR Data Platform with application containers
and Kubernetes makes them fully capable of consuming and processing live, enterprise level
data.

If you are new to application containers and Kubernetes, start here to get the background you’ll
need for the rest of the course. If you already have a good understanding of containers, feel
free to hop around to the topics that you are interested in.
