Introduction to Docker: From Installation to Production is a comprehensive, hands-on course designed to equip you with a deep understanding of Docker, a leading tool in the realm of containerization and microservices architecture. This course takes you on a journey, starting from the core concepts of containerization, the role Docker plays in today’s technology landscape, and why it’s favored over traditional virtualization techniques, leading all the way up to how Docker can be leveraged in Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.

You will learn Docker installation processes on various systems such as Linux, Windows, and macOS, and get familiar with the Docker Command Line Interface (CLI). As we delve deeper, you’ll explore Docker Images, Containers, Dockerfile, and Docker Hub. We will also explore Docker Compose and Docker networking concepts, enabling you to create and manage multi-container applications.

Hands-on exercises and real-world case studies will be integral components throughout this course. You’ll engage in building, optimizing, and debugging Docker images, running stateful applications with persistent storage, and understanding Docker security best practices. In the final stages, you’ll apply all the knowledge gained to build a CI/CD pipeline for a sample application using Docker. The objective is to ensure that by the end of the course, you are confident and competent in utilizing Docker in diverse enviro0nments and real-world applications.
