Video description

Roll up your sleeves and get ready to put Docker to work—no prior container experience required. In this introductory Docker course, you'll learn how to create, deploy, and manage Docker images and containers. Beginning with single-app deployments and managing a database, all the way to building a dynamic architecture with automated service discovery, the course gives examples and code for building and deploying your apps in a Docker environment. By course end, you'll know how to use Docker to build apps quickly and run them anywhere.

What you’ll learn—and how you can apply it

  • Understand the basics of creating and operating containerized architecture
  • Learn how to use Docker to containerize your software delivery process
  • Explore Docker images, networking, volumes, Docker Compose, and Docker Swarm
  • Learn how to orchestrate containers and leverage them for microservices
  • Understand how to use Docker containers in production and for continuous delivery

This course is for you because…

  • You're an intermediate level developer who wants to learn how to use containers to deploy software
  • You're an ops professional who wants to take advantage of the scaling, resiliency, and portability offered by containers
  • You work as part of team that wants to use containers to deliver software

Prerequisites:

  • Some experience with delivering software
  • A computer set-up with Linux
  • Basic familiarity with Linux CLI
Materials or downloads needed in advance: None
