Docker & Kubernetes QuickStart: Build, Test & Deploy Mastery

Explore using the env command to define environment variables and environment files, enabling reusable paths and exact versioning inside docker builds for reliable containerized configurations.

Learn to set safe docker permissions using chown and chmod, mark files executable, apply recursive rights, and switch to a non-root user for secure container deployment.

Explore docker build sequencing to maximize cache hits, starting from the linux base image, installing packages, and placing changing app files last for faster builds.

Authenticate Google Cloud from the terminal, build a Docker image, and push it to Google Cloud Container Registry while tagging versions 0 0 1 to 0 0 3.

Authenticate to Google Cloud, fetch cluster credentials, access the workload via kubectl, view logs, fix port eight to eighty-eight, redeploy, perform a rolling update, and expose the new IP.

Learn how to configure auto scaling in kubernetes engine, setting min and max pods, and using cpu and memory metrics (with optional external metrics) to scale workloads efficiently.

Learn to secure and deploy environment files, secrets, and config maps in kubernetes by creating, loading, and mounting env credentials into workloads, enabling shared, secure configuration across multiple deployments.

Create and push the project to a GitHub repository, configure the main branch and origin, and verify Docker image builds, while addressing ignored or missing files and folder initialization.

Leverage established templates with reusable configuration and environment files to accelerate deploying Laravel and related services, reducing setup from scratch to minutes.
