Containers and the Basics of Docker
Containers are one of the hottest technologies in software development in recent years, and
Docker is by far the most popular tool. Containers enable leaner development and modern
software architectures, like microservices. Getting familiar with containers also helps you
identify when the containers are the right tool and when not.
In this course, you'll learn through practical exercises to understand and use containers to
your best benefit!
The main goal of the course is an excellent basic understanding that helps you design
software based on containers. In addition, it will be a solid foundation for further independent
studies and exploration.
You can use your laptop
If you prefer, you can use your laptop. You'll need to have Docker and Docker Compose
installed. We will use the command line interface to Docker. Install Docker for most platforms
from docs.docker.com/install/.
