On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
pick a simple target for Shop.
Planned topics
- A VM (virtual machine) with Docker: most control, most work (updates, security).
- A PaaS (platform as a service, such as a managed app host): you push an image; the platform runs it. Easiest start.
- A managed container service from a cloud provider: more features, more setup.
- Kubernetes: powerful, usually too much for a first deployment (covered later).
- Compare cost, control, effort, and lock-in. Verify current free tiers and prices before recording.
