Docker - Introduction to Docker12:38
Explore how Docker containers use the Linux kernel to run apps with a shared kernel, delivering fast startup and consistent, scalable deployments.
Docker - Application architecture10:47
Understand how Docker enables containerization, refactors monolithic apps into microservices, and enables easy deployment, scaling, and independent updates through CI/CD practices.
Docker - Overview24:04
Explore how docker uses linux containers, namespaces, and cgroups for isolation and resource control, and how images, containers, and registries—via the docker cli and daemon—enable fast, portable deployments.
Install Docker on Linux7:34
Install Docker on Linux with the get.docker.com script, which adds the repo, installs Docker, and starts the daemon to run a hello world container; compare community edition and enterprise edition.
Managing Docker Containers20:47
Learn to manage docker containers with the CLI, covering container lifecycle from building images with a Dockerfile to running in detach mode and stopping, removing, or pruning containers and images.
Managing Docker Images9:54
Understand how docker images are built from layered templates, how containers write on a writable layer, and how registries and tagging streamline image management.
Building Container Images18:26
Build container images with docker commit or, preferably, a Dockerfile. Use lean base images, such as Debian or Alpine, and manage layers, run, copy, and entrypoint for maintainability.
