Module 2

During this module we will learn the basics about Docker. Docker provides us the ability to create containers.  The reason we are only going to focus on the basics of Docker is a deeper dive into containers would require knowledge of the following:

• System Administration

• Understanding databases (SQL, mysql, phpmyaddming, database administration)

• Programming languages

  • creating custom applications

• Web developments

• Networking

• Able to user/configure monitoring tools like Elasticsearch ,  Datadog, Grafana, and Prometheus

What we will focus on during the next three weeks are the following Docker concepts:

1. Installing Docker

2. Verifying Docker Installation

3. Understanding how to use the Docker Command Line Interface (cli)

4. Creating a single container using Dockerfiles

1. Install a Docker → LO #1

2. Use the Docker Command Line Interface to manage containers → LO #1

3. Create a container using a Dockerfile → LO #1
