Overview
You will take an existing application, containerise it properly, and build the pipeline that takes a code change from commit to a running, monitored deployment.
Nothing here is simulated: by the final review, a real build genuinely deploys through a real pipeline, and you can show someone the monitoring dashboard that proves it's healthy.
