Docker is a powerful and popular tool for building, running, and managing containers. Containers are a lightweight and portable packaging format that allows developers and IT operations teams to build, ship, and run applications with all the necessary dependencies, in any environment. Docker is an essential tool for building, deploying, and managing containerized applications, and it offers many benefits over traditional deployment methods.
In this learning path, you'll explore the core concepts, functions, and benefits of the Docker service. We will review the fundamentals of container security, and introduce the key concepts and terminology of Docker. You'll then look at how to launch and run a Docker container, and how to implement a Docker solution on Linux. Additionally, we will review how to build and implement a container using Docker, and how to perform Docker tagging and port mapping. Finally, you'll look at how to mount and manage Docker volumes for storage.
By the end of this learning path, you'll have a solid understanding of the core concepts, functions, and benefits of the Docker service.
The content in this learning path will teach you Container Orchestration with Docker to a level 1 standard.
