There is absolutely no doubt about it, containers have revolutionized the way that we manage and deploy software applications across the industry.

The goals of this course are to give you a solid understanding on how you can use containers within your day-to-day application development life.

What You’ll Learn

Throughout this course, we’ll cover the fundamental topics such as:

  • Installing Docker
  • Basic Terminology
  • Creating Your Own Docker Images
  • Working with Containers
  • Managing Your Images and Containers
  • Performance Tips for High-Performance Docker Development
  • Running Multiple Containers easily with Docker-Compose

By the end of this course, if I have done my job well, you will be a Docker pro. You will be comfortable managing and running Docker containers as well as containerizing even the most complex of applications.
