Docker - Containerisation for Modern Development

In this comprehensive course, you'll learn how to build, ship, and run applications using containers, focusing on real-world practices and hands-on experience. Whether you're a developer, IT professional, or part of a DevOps team, this course is designed to help you simplify workflows and enhance scalability with Docker.

We begin by introducing the fundamentals of containerization—what containers are, how they differ from virtual machines, and why they're revolutionizing modern software development. You'll dive into Docker basics, including creating and managing containers, building Docker images, and writing efficient Docker files.

Next, you'll explore advanced concepts like Docker networking and volumes, giving your applications flexibility and persistence. We'll also cover Docker Compose to manage multi-container applications with ease. Once you're confident locally, we move to the cloud: you'll learn how to deploy containers using AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) and store images securely on AWS ECR (Elastic Container Registry). We'll also cover auto-scaling to ensure your apps perform reliably under load.

Throughout the course, you'll work on hands-on projects and practical examples to apply your knowledge. By the end, you'll have the skills to containerize applications, streamline deployment pipelines, and scale efficiently in production environments using modern container technologies.
