Containerization doesn’t have to be complicated. “Docker is Easy” is a no-nonsense, practical crash course designed for developers who want to finally understand containers. We cut through the DevOps jargon and focus on what you actually need to know to containerize your applications, share them with your team, and deploy them to the cloud. You will build Dockerfiles from scratch, manage multi-container apps with Docker Compose, and understand volumes and networking.
