Containers and Azure Service Fabric

Expand all

Course Description

This Containers and Azure Service Fabric training course takes a detailed look at how to plan, implement, and operate scalable and reliable microservices to Azure Service Fabric. We take a detailed look at the development issues in Web API to create stateful and stateless microservices, and see how to use the actor model to achieve concurrency and re-entrancy. We also cover important practical issues such as orchestration, containerisation, reliability, up-time and instrumentation for DevOps.
