Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to build, deploy, run, and monitor containers, and implement micro services, with the goal of providing a more sustainable, flexible and cost-efficient Information and Communications Technology (ICT) environment.The unit applies to those working as senior computer systems architects proficient in software development, senior software developers and those who work in DevOps roles, responsible for increasing the resource utilisation of an organisation by using containerisation as an alternative to traditional server and application infrastructure technologies. Containers are used to isolate the runtime environment for applications in order to increase portability and reduce operational costs by increasing the utilisation of resources. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
