About Course

Docker is a powerful platform that simplifies the development, deployment, and scaling of applications through containerization technology. Containers package applications and their dependencies together, ensuring consistency across various environments. This course will introduce you to Docker’s core concepts, such as creating, managing, and running containers. You will learn how to use Docker to streamline workflows, enhance portability, and ensure seamless integration across development, testing, and production environments. By the end of the course, you’ll have the practical skills to build efficient, scalable applications with Docker, making it an essential tool in modern DevOps and cloud-native development.

Course Content

Module 1: Introduction to Docker
Docker is a platform that simplifies application development, deployment, and scaling using containerization technology. Containers allow you to package applications with their dependencies, ensuring consistency across environments.

  • Lesson 1.1: What is Docker?
  • Lesson 1.2: Installing Docker
  • Lesson 1.3: Docker Architecture
  • Lesson 1.4: Your First Docker Container
  • Lesson 1.5: Key Docker Commands
  • Module 1 Quiz
  • Module 1 Summary

Module 2: Building and Managing Docker Images
Docker images are the building blocks of containers. They are lightweight, standalone, and executable packages that include everything needed to run an application.

Module 3: Working with Docker Containers
Docker containers are lightweight, standalone, and executable packages that include everything needed to run an application. They are created from Docker images and provide isolated environments for running applications.

Module 4: Orchestrating Multi-Container Applications with Docker Compose
Docker Compose is a tool for defining and managing multi-container Docker applications. Using a docker-compose.yml file, you can configure your application’s services, networks, and volumes in one place.

Module 5: Docker Networking Deep Dive
Docker networking allows containers to communicate with each other and external systems. Understanding Docker's networking model is crucial for building scalable, secure, and efficient applications.

Module 6: Docker Security Best Practices
Docker provides built-in security features to isolate and protect containers. However, securing Docker requires understanding its architecture and following best practices.

Module 7: Integrating Docker with CI/CD Pipelines
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines automate software development workflows, enhancing speed, reliability, and efficiency. Docker is a key component of modern CI/CD systems, enabling consistent builds and deployments.

Module 8: Advanced Docker Topics
Logging and monitoring are essential for maintaining reliable Docker deployments. Tools and techniques are available to monitor containers, analyze logs, and ensure optimal performance.

Module 9: Capstone Project
The Capstone Project is a comprehensive, hands-on exercise where you apply all the Docker concepts and skills you’ve learned throughout this course. The goal is to design, build, and deploy a complete containerized application in a simulated real-world environment.

Module 10: Real-World Use Cases for Docker
This module explores practical use cases for Docker in real-world scenarios across various industries. You’ll understand how organizations leverage Docker to improve workflows, enhance scalability, and reduce costs.
