🐳 What is Docker?

🤖 For Robots

Docker is an open-source platform that allows you to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of applications using containerization. Containerization is a lightweight alternative to full machine virtualization, where applications are packaged along with their dependencies and run in isolated environments called containers.

👨‍👨‍👧 For People

Simply put, Docker is a tool that allows us to package up application code, and all of the things it needs to run into a lightweight format that will run on any system that has Docker installed. Its simple format and small size make very easy to run many instances of an application quickly

❓Why Docker?

Packaging, deploying and operating applications via containers has become the norm for many digital products. While there are a number of container technologies out there, Docker is by far the most popular and has become a ubiquitous technology for digital engineers.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Who is this for?

This course is designed for people entering a digital engineering field that helps create digital products via software. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Software Engineers
  • Web Developers
  • Systems Administrators
  • System Engineers
  • DevOps Engineers
  • Site Reliability Administrators
  • Cloud Engineers

👶🏽Prerequisites?

This course, like many of our courses dive deep into a specific technology. While you may be able to grasp the concepts of the technology, to get the most out of this course its best you have learned or performed the following:

  • Solid Linux/Unix command line skills. No need to be an expert but you should be able to navigate the directory tree, create files and directories and maybe have installed a program or two via the CLI
  • Have configured a software application to run via CLI. Some examples might be a react application, a ruby on rails application or a python application
