About this Course

In this interactive and hands-on project, learners will master the process of deploying a web server using Python. The core objective is to teach participants how to containerize an application, manage the containers by uploading them, and finally deploying these containerized web server applications on the IBM Cloud Code Engine platform.

The course imparts practical and transferable skills, suitable for containerizing and deploying any project on the IBM Cloud Code Engine, making use of a provided cloud-based IDE that comes pre-installed with necessary tools like Python and Docker.
