Disclaimer0:38

What is Docker?2:54
Docker is Open Source software. It provides the automation of Linux application deployment in a software container.

We can do operating system level virtualization on Linux with Docker.

Docker can package software in a complete file system that contains software code, runtime environment, system tools, & libraries that are required to install and run the software on a server.
What is the difference between Docker image and Docker container?2:34
Docker container is simply an instance of Docker image.

A Docker image is an immutable file, which is a snapshot of container. We create an image with build command.

When we use run command, an Image will produce a container.

In programming language, an Image is a Class and a Container is an instance of the class.
How will you remove an image from Docker?2:24
We can use docker rmi command to delete an image from our local system.

Exact command is:

% docker rmi <Image Id>

If we want to find IDs of all the Docker images in our local system, we can user docker images command.

% docker images

If we want to remove a docker container then we use docker rm command.

% docker rm <Container Id>
How is a Docker container different from a hypervisor?3:28
Can we write compose file in json file instead of yaml?2:36
Examine whether docker compose can use json instead of yaml, and how to specify the format with -f; learn why one app per server yields a cleaner, more reliable environment.
What are the common use cases of Docker?2:56

What are the main features of Docker-compose?2:44
Some of the main features of Docker-compose are as follows:

I.         Multiple environments on same Host: We can use it to create multiple environments on the same host server.
II.         Preserve Volume Data on Container Creation: Docker compose also preserves the volume data when we create a container.
III.         Recreate the changed Containers: We can also use compose to recreate the changed containers.
IV.         Variables in Compose file: Docker compose also supports variables in compose file. In this way we can create variations of our containers.
What is the most popular use of Docker?3:46
What is the difference between Docker commands: up, run and start?2:33
Explore the differences between docker compose up, run, and start. Up brings up all services, run executes a one-off command, and start begins existing containers.
What is Docker Swarm?4:07
Discover docker swarm concepts, its ability to scale applications across a shared environment while preserving security, and how docker swarm provides Docker API compatibility, master nodes, and discovery services.
What is a Docker Image?5:14
Understand how a Docker image serves as the blueprint to create containers, using registry-provided standard images to run software without installation, while containers remain isolated.
What is Docker Machine?2:34
Use Docker Machine to install and manage Docker hosts on remote systems or virtual machines, connecting from one location via a command line interface to operate clusters and deploy containers.

How will you create a Container in Docker?3:18
Can we run more than one process in a Docker container?2:11
Explore how to run multiple processes inside a single Docker container using process supervisors, and understand practical approaches to manage and supervise these processes effectively.
What are the objects created by Docker Cloud in Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2?2:36
Docker cloud creates essential aws ec2 objects such as a virtual private cloud, subnets across regions, and an internet gateway. These components interconnect to host applications securely.
What are the three main steps of Docker Compose?3:45
learn the three main steps of docker compose: create the necessary files, define services in the docker-compose file, and use compose to bring the whole environment up with correct dependencies.
What is Docker Hub?3:16
Explore Docker Hub as a centralized registry of Docker images and repositories, enabling search, discovery, push and pull workflows, image distribution, and collaboration across teams.
What are the main security concerns with Docker based containers?4:14
Explore the main security concerns with Docker-based containers, including shared resources, cross-container access risks, denial of service, and potential exposure of shared secrets.

What are the security benefits of using Container based system?2:36
Segregate applications with container-based isolation to prevent cross-application access and reduce attack surfaces. Use build scripts to create containers with tight configuration control, easing security updates and uniform protections.
How can we check the status of a Container in Docker?2:35
Discover how to check container status in Docker by listing all containers and viewing their running state, alongside Docker's benefits of single image packaging and uniform deployment.
How does Docker simplify Software Development process?2:39
Explore how docker simplifies software development by enabling easy image creation, a central registry, and deployment across systems, with early feedback reducing repair costs.
What are the popular tasks that you can do with Docker Command line tool?2:46
Explore popular Docker command-line tasks: download images, start and stop containers, retrieve logs, and build images from Dockerfiles, while understanding stateless design and scalable deployment across environments.
How can Docker run on different Linux distributions?3:26
What is the difference between Add and Copy command in a Dockerfile?2:55
Understand the difference between add and copy in a dockerfile, noting copy copies local files only while add handles broader cases; also learn about entrypoint, cmd, and image layering.

What is Build cache in Docker?2:18
What are the most common instructions in Dockerfile?2:16
What are the different kinds of namespaces available in a Container?3:31
Explore the six container namespaces—host name and domain, mount, pid, IPC, user, and network—and see how each provides isolated resources like file systems, processes, IPC tools, users, and networking.
How will you monitor Docker in production?3:32
Why Docker compose does not wait for a container to be ready before moving on to3:22
Bonus Lecture: What next?1:16

Software Development or Operations Knowledge
Familiar with Software concepts

Description

Docker is one of the fastest growing software in technology world. Till now 4 billion Docker containers have been used. This course is designed to help you achieve your goals in Docker field. Engineers with Docker knowledge may get more salary than others with similar qualifications without Docker knowledge.

In this course, you will learn how to handle interview questions on Docker technology in Software Design and Development. I will explain you the important concepts of Docker and related areas.

You will also learn the benefits of Docker in this course.

What is the biggest benefit of this course to me?

Finally, the biggest benefit of this course is that you will be able to demand higher salary in your next job interview.

It is good to learn Docker for theoretical benefits. But if you do not know how to handle interview questions on Docker, you can not convert your Docker knowledge into higher salary.

What are the topics covered in this course?
