Assignment: Containerize and Ship
History of Containers and CI/CD
The slide deck used in the Week 5 in-class kickoff session. The deck covers: welcome back + recap, the live quiz, chapter-by-chapter tour (Ch1-Ch5), two live exercises from the practice chapter, the agenda card, the assignment scaffold tour, and the closing hand-written reflection.
<aside> ๐ก Use this as a recap. If you missed class or want to re-walk the agenda, the deck mirrors the structure of the lesson: same section numbers, same order. Especially useful for the assignment-launch walk-through (ยง9) when you start the assignment at home.

The teacher's per-section script (pacing, quiz answer cribs, exercise reference solutions, deep-dive default topics, closer rubric) lives in the GitHub-only week_5__lesson_plan.md (visible on GitHub only; not synced to Notion, so no link from this page).
The two live exercises the deck showcases come from the Learning-Resources repo:
| Section | Exercise | What you practice |
|---|---|---|
| ยง3 Live Exercise A (recommended) | Ex 1: Minimal Pipeline to Container | Write a Dockerfile from scratch and run the container with env vars |
| ยง7 Live Exercise B (recommended) | Ex 5: CI Smoke Test | Add a GitHub Actions workflow and confirm it goes red on a broken test |
The teacher chooses which to run live based on quiz wrong-pick patterns. Solutions live in each exercise_N/solutions/ folder.
