Course Objectives
The course teaches the use of Docker in practice and the technical background to it. The use is explained under both Windows and Linux, with the focus on Linux. However, the content can easily be transferred to Windows. The first day covers use cases and the basics of containers. The use cases provide an insight into the situations in which the use of containers makes sense. The basics enable participants to use containers safely. The second day includes Docker Compose, creating your own images and securing containers. With this knowledge, containers can be developed and operated securely. The third day provides a deep insight into debugging with containers, the Docker architecture and the use of containers in development environments, CI/CD systems and clusters. The course is therefore also explicitly aimed at teams with different levels of experience with Docker and containers.
