Requirements

If you’re looking for a hands-on practical course to integrating Docker with your frontend and backend services, along with Databases and other pieces of software, you’ve come to the right place!

This course is intended for developers or people with software background.

If you still haven’t learned anything about Docker, or want to refresh your knowledge with a practical lab, then you can join the course. We’ll explore Docker and Docker Swarm – how they work, how containerization works, and how to dockerize your applications with Docker Stack.

 

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

  • Use the most common Docker commands freely
  • Containerize your projects
  • Create images with a small footprint
  • Build a simple project with Docker Stack and run it with one command
  • Orchestrate your applications making them somewhat fault resilient with Docker Swarm
  • Use Docker’s best practices when building your won applications

 

Join the course to know more about:

  • Docker theoretical fundamentals
  • How to install Docker on your local system or server
  • Most used Docker commands
  • How to create and use docker images, containers, volumes, and networks
  • Docker Compose, and how to structure a Compose file
  • How to build and use your own private Docker registry
  • Docker Swarm – Manager and worker nodes,
  • Best practices in scaling applications

 

This course has the following requirements:

  • OS of your choice
  • Previous Hands-on experience with some virtualization software (we’re going to be using virtual machines)
  • Basic knowledge of NPM or Angular / React / NodeJS
  • Any prior development experience
