🧑‍🏫 My course repositories

• All my Udemy course coupon codes: bretfisher.com/courses
• Automate Your Kubernetes Deployments with GitHub Actions and Argo GitOps
• Docker Mastery (with Kubernetes, Swarm, Compose, and more)
• Kubernetes Mastery (go deeper in K8s)
• Docker for Node.js (learn advanced ways to use local Docker with Node.js projects)
• Swarm Mastery (learn more about Docker's built-in orchestrator)
• More DevOps courses coming!

My examples and templates (New stuff on top)

• Awesome DevOps Demo Apps - A list of multi-container demo apps that run on servers
• Awesome Swarm - A list of resources, tools, and learning on Docker/Mirantis Swarm (SwarmKit)
• Kubernetes initContainer Examples and Good Defaults - Learn Kubernetes Init Containers by example, and when to not use them.
• Kubernetes Pod Specification (podspec) Good Defaults - Good Defaults for the most common Kubernetes workloads. Adds security and uptime (optional) features.
• Node.js Rocks in Docker - Video and examples of multi-stage docker builds, k8s healthcheck probes, etc.

• GitHub Actions DevOps Templates - reusable GitHub Actions templates for DevOps stuff (linting, docker builds, CVE scanning, etc.)
• Docker Build GitHub Action Template - My custom GitHub Actions workflow using Docker's official build-and-push Actions.
• Super Linter GitHub Action Template - My custom all-in-one linter workflow. I lint all my repositories, and I recommend you do to.
• Node.js Docker Good Defaults - A sample Node.js project that uses Docker.
• Docker Compose local TLS for devs - A sample Compose file that uses a Traefik proxy for TLS, and optionally, Let's Encrypt.
• Docker Build Multi-platform Readme - Explains some ways to build Docker images for multiple platforms in a single Dockerfile.
• Voting App Docker Example - My favorite multi-container example app that I often use to for learning Docker, K8s, CI/CD, and GitOps.
• PHP Docker Good Defaults (outdated) - A sample PHP project that uses Docker.
• Java Docker Petclinic Example - A sample Java project that uses Docker.
• dogvscat Using the voting app in Docker Swarm to explain orchestration, proxies, secrets, and networking.

My tools (often used for learning Containers, Kubernetes, and Docker)

• shpod - Common Kubernetes tools in a single pod.
• httping - Ping with HTTP. Fantastic for testing zero-downtime rolling updates.
• jekyll - Jekyll in a container.
• stress - Easy CPU and Memory Stressing for Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes.
• vackup - Docker Volume backup and restore.
• browncoat - A utility container for simulating failures like slow startup, failing healthchecks, etc.
