About this course
Docker is a popular technology used for containerization. It allows developers to package up an application and all its dependencies into a single container, which can then be deployed on any platform that supports Docker.
Containers provide a lightweight and portable way to package and run applications. Docker containers are isolated from each other, which means that an application running inside a Docker container cannot interfere with other applications running on the same host.
In this course, you will be introduced to the powerful technology that is used by many developers and organizations to improve the efficiency, consistency, and portability of their applications. Begin your containerization journey with the Docker engine
