Or: Are youusing Docker Swarm now and need to deal with real-world problems? I'm here for you! See my production topics around storing secrets, controlling rolling updates, events, healthchecks, and more.
BONUS:This course comes with exclusive access to a Slack Chat and Weekly live Q&A with me!
Some of the many cool things you'll do in this course:
Lock down your apps in private networks that only expose necessary ports
Create a 3-node Swarm cluster locally and (optionally)in the cloud
Use Virtual IP's for built-in load balancing in your cluster
Use Swarm Secrets to encrypt your environment configs, even on disk
Deploy container updates in a rolling update HA design
Create the config utopia of a single set of YAML files for local dev, CI testing, and prod cluster deploys
And so much more...
After taking this course, you'll be able to:
Use Docker Swarm in your daily ops and sysadmin roles
Build multi-node Swarm clusters and deploying H/A containers
Protect your keys, TLS certificates, and passwords with encrypted secrets
Lead your team into the future with the latest Docker Swarm orchestration skills!
Why should you learn from me? Why trust me to teach you the best ways to use Docker Swarm?
I'm A Practitioner. Welcome to the real world: I've got more than 20 years of sysadmin and developer experience, over 30 certifications, and have been using Docker and the container ecosystem for myself and my consulting clients since Docker's early days. My clients use Docker Swarm in production. With me, you’re learning from someone who's run hundreds of containers across dozens of projects and organizations.
I'm An Educator. With me, you’re learn from someone who knows how to make a syllabus: I want to help you. People say I'm good at it. For the last few years I've trained thousands of people on using Docker in workshops, conferences and meetups. See me teach at events like DockerCon, O'Reilly Velocity, and Linux Open Source Summit.
I Lead Communities. Also, I'm a Docker Captain, meaning that Docker Inc. thinks I know a thing or two about Docker and that I do well in sharing it with others. In the real-world: I help run two local meetups in our fabulous tech community in Norfolk/Virginia Beach USA. I help online: usually in Slack and Twitter, where I learn from and help others.

This is a living course, and will be updated as Docker Swarm features and workflows change.
This course is designed to be fast at getting you started but also get you deep into the "why" of things. Simply the fastest and best way to learn the latest docker skills. Look at the scope of topics in the Session and see the breadth of skills you will learn.
Also included is a private Slack Chat group for getting help with this course and continuing your Docker Swarm and DevOps learning with help from myself and other students.
"Bret's course is a level above all of those resources, and if you're struggling to get a handle on Docker, this is the resource you need to invest in." - Austin Tindle, Docker Mastery Course Student
Extra things that come with this course:
Access to the course Slack team, for getting help/advice from me and other students.
Bonus videos I put elsewhere like YouTube.
Tons of reference links to supplement this content.
Updates to content as Docker changes their features on these topics.
Thanks so much for considering this course. Come join me and thousands of othersin this course (and my others)for learning one of the coolest pieces of tech today, Docker Swarm!
