Course details
COMP 3916 was replaced by COMP 4016- Applied DevOps with Kubernetes, as of Februray 2023. This hands-on course was designed for experienced web application developers. Students who are able to write code in a variety of web programming environments are introduced to containerization technologies. COMP 3916 begins with a brief history of virtualization technologies, followed by a discussion of Docker architecture and how to simplify the software delivery process using containers. Students build custom images by pulling and pushing images from the Docker registry and set up automated pipelines to build custom images directly from source control systems like GitHub. Topics include: DevOps enablement by Docker, Docker Swarm orchestration engine, networking containers, and data persistence using volumes. Labs and assignments include composing applications using popular open source software like Python, Node.js, Java and .NET Core to run on containers. Enabling Microservices architecture using containers and cloud providers support for containerization technologies are also discussed. COMP 3916 is a required course in our advanced web development programs; Web and Mobile, Advanced Java, Advanced .NET Application Development, and is an elective the CST/PTS Diploma. Upon completion, successful students will be able to use Docker to package applications for accelerated development and deployment to help enable software delivery at a faster pace.
