Description
Docker is one of the most important tools used in modern software development, but before working with Docker in real-world projects, it is important to understand the fundamentals.This course provides a beginner-friendly introduction to Docker and containerization, with examples and explanations aimed at Python developers.
We will start by understanding what Docker is and why containers are useful. Then, we will install Docker and explore the architecture behind it.
After that, we will learn what Docker images are, how they are created and stored, and how containers are created from images.
Finally, we will work with Docker containers and learn the basic commands needed to create, start, stop, inspect, and remove them.
The goal of this course is to give you a solid foundation in Docker before moving on to more advanced topics.
