Guided Project

Get Started with Containers and Registries V2

Rav Ahuja

Docker remains one of the most popular platforms used to build, run, and manage containers. Containers are valuable because they are software packages that are portable—they contain all the code, dependencies, and libraries for an application. This allows organizations to run their applications independently of any platform. In turn, this empowers organizations to change platforms quickly and reliably in response to changing needs and costs. Docker facilitates the easy and automated creation of containers for its users. This hands-on guided project makes it easy to learn job-relevant skills, such as how to pull, run, build, and push container images using Docker. Docker skills are essential for anyone working in application development, and they are a sure way to make yourself a stronger job candidate or developer.
