Docker Containers LiveLessons, 2nd Edition

Docker Containers LiveLessons takes you through your first experiences understanding, running, building and managing Docker containers. These hands-on lessons help you explore Docker containers, registries, and run-time environments. It then extends that experience into container orchestration with Kubernetes.

With cloud computing, applications need to move around efficiently and run almost anywhere. In this video, learn how you can create containerized applications with Docker that are lightweight and portable. First, Chris shows you how to begin using Docker on Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or Fedora systems (with options of Windows or Mac OS X). Then he shows you how to pull and push Docker container images from and to Docker registries. The next few lessons get you started running container and investigating how they work. After that, you learn how to build your own Docker images. The video then examines orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and Cockpit and development tools such as OpenShift for deploying and managing containers. Finally, it provides some tips for developing your own Docker containers.
