Docker Course for Beginners – Learn From Scratch
Docker is a set of platform as a service products that uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels.
Docker adoption quickly exploded and continues to surge. At this writing, Docker Inc. reports 105 billion container downloads—up from 50 billion just one year ago—and more than 750 enterprise Docker customers.
This course will teach you all the basics of Docker. Included are several hands-on labs (using free software) where you can follow-along with a Docker expert as you:
- Install Docker
- Create containers
- Create Docker networks
- Access Docker Hub and other resources
- Use Docker clusters
- Examine serverless Docker
- Learn Kubernetes basics
By the end of the course you will be able to configure basic Docker and understand related concepts.
