Basic understanding of cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP (not mandatory but helpful)

No prior Docker or container experience required — this course starts from scratch!

Description

Docker from Scratch: The Gateway to ECS, EKS & KubernetesIn today’s cloud-first world, Docker is the foundation for mastering containerized deployments using platforms like Amazon ECS, AWS EKS, and Kubernetes. This beginner-friendly course is your first step toward understanding and using Docker confidently — no prior container experience needed.Whether you're managing cloud infrastructure or planning to dive into orchestration tools, Docker simplifies how applications are built, shipped, and run. Through a mix of clear explanations and hands-on labs, this course teaches you how to work with containers, manage images, handle Docker networking and storage, and deploy in real-world cloud environments.Note: This course is focused on Docker only — it's designed as a prerequisite to learning orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and EKS.What You'll Learn:Core concepts of Docker and containerizationHow to create, manage, and deploy Docker containersBuilding and optimizing Docker imagesUnderstanding Docker networking and volumesUsing Docker in AWS, Azure, and GCP environments Topics Covered:1.
