Description

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 freelyContainerize your projectsCreate images with a small footprintBuild a simple project with Docker Stack and run it with one commandOrchestrate your applications making them somewhat fault resilient with Docker SwarmUse Docker's best practices when building your won applicationsJoin the course to know more about:Docker theoretical fundamentalsHow to install Docker on your local system or serverMost used Docker commandsHow to create and use docker images, containers, volumes, and networksDocker Compose, and how to structure a Compose fileHow to build and use your own private Docker registryDocker Swarm – Manager and worker nodes,Best practices in scaling applicationsThis course has the following requirements:OS of your choicePrevious Hands-on experience with some virtualization software (we’re going to be using virtual machines)Basic knowledge of NPM or Angular / React / NodeJSAny prior development experience
