INTERMEDIATE
Docker has become the industry standard for containerization. It allows developers to package their applications in portable containers that can run on any system. Businesses are therefore increasingly adopting containerization to optimize their software development and deployment processes, while simultaneously reducing infrastructure costs and improving the scalability, security, and reliability of their applications. As a result, professionals who are proficient in managing containerization using Docker are in strong demand.
During this Docker course, you will learn about creating and running containers and creating a Dockerfile to build a custom image. You will explore how to manage data with Docker and how to create and manage data volumes and mount host directories as data volumes. You will investigate networking with Docker and learn how to use Docker Compose to start and stop a multi-container application and scale containers. You will also explore best practices for writing Dockerfiles and Docker Compose files, plus how to troubleshoot them.
Overall, this Docker course is ideal for professionals who wish to build the skills in containerization using Docker that businesses are looking for.

FAQs
Containerization with Docker refers to the practice of using Docker, an open-source containerization platform, to create, manage, and deploy lightweight, portable, and isolated environments known as containers. Docker allows developers to package an application and its dependencies into a single container that can run on any platform, making it easier to build, test, and deploy applications in a consistent and reliable way across different computing environments. Containerization with Docker provides a way to streamline the development and deployment of software applications while also improving scalability, efficiency, and security.
Yes, you will receive a Certificate of Completion after successfully finishing the course. This will add valuable details to your resume and LinkedIn profile and will give you an extra edge over other candidates.
Although it is not necessary to know a programming language to learn about containerization with Docker, having some programming knowledge can be helpful. Docker itself is not a programming language, but rather a tool that allows you to package and deploy applications in containers. However, you will need to work with command-line interfaces (CLI) to build, deploy, and manage containers, so some basic knowledge of CLI and the operating system you are working on is essential.
Learn Containerization with Docker is a web-based course. This means it is 100% online and does not require any in-person attendance. All you need is adequate access to the internet and the necessary technology to utilize the course materials, which comprise articles, videos, and knowledge checks. Additionally, you can connect easily with others on the course and your mentors through the discussion space.
Docker is a powerful tool that can greatly benefit DevOps practices by enabling efficient deployment and management of applications across multiple environments. Here are some ways you can use Docker for DevOps:
- Containerization
- Version control
- Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD)
- Resource management
- Collaboration with team members
Completing the Learn CI/CD with Jenkins course will provide you with valuable skills for several job roles related to continuous integration and continuous deployment. These skills are very useful for DevOps engineers, build and release engineers, automation engineers, Jenkins administrators, and DevOps consultants.
You will have access to a dedicated discussion space where you can ask questions, share knowledge, and interact with other learners. You will also have access to a team of experienced instructors who will provide guidance and feedback throughout the course.
