Docker Deep Dive from Pluralsight

This course will teach you everything you need to know to get started in the world of Docker and containers, and provide a solid foundation for learning Kubernetes.

Containers are one of the hottest topics in IT, and it’s hard to know where to start. In this course, Docker Deep Dive, you’ll learn everything needed to be proficient with Docker and container technologies. You’ll also be ready to start learning and working Kubernetes.

First, you’ll learn how to get a professional Docker development environment on your local computer or in the cloud. Then, you’ll dive into the architecture of Docker and containers and discover the advantages they have over virtual machines and other technologies. Next, you'll explore deep into container images and good practices for building images and working with containers. Finally, you’ll discover how to work with multi-container apps that leverage advanced networking, and utilize persistent storage and sensitive data.

When you’re finished with the course, you’ll be proficient working Docker and microservices apps. You’ll also be ready to learn Kubernetes.
