Docker Fundamentals

Docker Concepts

To start, we will explore the difference between virtual machines and Docker. You will learn why Docker has become the preferred solution in the modern world of Data Engineering. We will discuss key concepts:

• images
• containers
• registries
• tags and others

You will install Docker Desktop as the main development environment.

In the second part, you will get acquainted with DockerHub - learn how to find and use ready-made images from developers and companies for production deployment, testing, and local development.

Practical Part

In the practical module you will:

• Download and run ready-made images from DockerHub via the command line and Docker Compose
• Develop and run your own image
• Add modules and expand the functionality of the container
• Create your own repository on DockerHub and publish your image there

This way you will fully master how Docker works and how to share your solutions.

Docker in Production

To help you understand how Docker is applied in real projects, we will look at deploying containers in a cloud environment. You will learn how to run containers using various cloud services and get acquainted with best security practices to protect your containers from external threats.

The course is ideal for beginners and those who want to confidently include Docker in their engineering stack.
