Overview

Master multi-stage builds, Docker networking tools, and Docker Compose for optimal containerized applications!

This course builds upon the foundations of learning Docker and containerization found in the Introduction to Docker course. We extend the concepts and tools covered in that course, adding the ideas of container image management and optimization, networking, file system communication, multi-platform and multi-container applications. When completed, you'll be able to:

- Create multi-stage builds to optimize the size, security, and reusability of containerized applications.
- Use Docker networking tools and concepts to add inter-container communications and provide networking services to the local network and the outside world.
- Share files and data between containers and the host machine using Docker file system mounts and volumes.
- Create mutli-container application deployments using Docker Compose, drastically simplifying the setup of complex tools common in data science and engineering environments.

You'll gain the most from this course if you have worked with and built some simple containers, but are looking to add to your development, testing, and distribution toolbox. We look forward to helping guide you during your journey of learning Docker.

Syllabus

  • Commands and filesystems
    • This chapter covers new Docker commands and details on how to share data between host system and containerized applications. Learn when and how to use persistent volumes and access host filesystems.
  • Networking
    • Learn to expose networking services in Docker, create Docker networks, and use Dockerfiles to maintain network settings.
  • Building advanced container images
    • Learn to use Docker's advanced image management and build tools to create compact effective container images. Create multi-platform images capable of running on different processor architectures.
  • Docker Compose
    • Combine the the volume, networking, and container handling capabilities of Docker into multi-container applications using Docker Compose. Update and manage application deployments via the docker-compose.yml file.
