Working with Containers: Docker & Docker Compose
Gain insights into Docker fundamentals, delve into advanced concepts like database connectivity and Docker Compose, and discover how to monitor and scale services with Docker Swarm.
Whether you are a DevOps beginner or just a developer who wants to start working with containers, you’re in the right place. Docker is an in-demand technology that you will be exposed to frequently while on the job.
Docker is used for setting up, deploying, and running applications, at scale, by containerizing them. More on that later. Docker also provides developers with a consistent environment for product development, and along with Kubernetes, makes managing the development lifecycle a breeze.
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of Docker such as containers, images, and commands. You’ll then progress to more advanced concepts like connecting to a database container and how to simplify workflows with Docker Compose. At the end, you’ll learn how to monitor clusters and scale Docker services with Swarm.
