Docker: Hands-On Training Application Containers

Course Description

Build and manage application containers with Docker and Podman.

Docker has made application containers the quasi-standard for cloud native application delivery. Docker combines management tools for containers, networks, and volumes with a rather simple mechanism for automating the creation of container images. These principles also apply to the Docker alternative Podman. In addition to the administration of containers, it is necessary to package applications in container images, to precisely understand the requirements of containerized applications and to optimize applications specifically for containerized runtime environments. This course teaches all the essential features of Docker and Podman with numerous exercises.

Course Objectives

Participants learn how to use application containers with Docker and/or Podman. This includes configuring individual containers, networks, and volumes, as well as orchestration with Docker Compose. In addition, participants will learn how to create Dockerfiles / Containerfiles for packaging applications in container images.
