Docker and Kubernetes are the standard for modern application deployment. But the learning curve is steep. Here's everything you need to know.

Why Containers?

Consistency across environments, easy scaling, efficient resource usage, simplified deployment. Containers package your app with all dependencies.

Docker Basics

Dockerfile: Define your container. docker build: Create image. docker run: Start container. docker-compose: Multi-container apps. Push to registry for deployment.

Kubernetes Basics

Pods: Smallest deployable units. Deployments: Manage replicas. Services: Expose pods. Ingress: Route traffic. ConfigMaps/Secrets: Configuration.

The Multos Shortcut

Skip the YAML files and kubectl commands. Just say 'Deploy my app with Docker and Kubernetes to AWS'. Multos handles containerization, orchestration, and scaling automatically.
