A Practical guide to Docker containers

Docker has become a core skill for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud professionals.
This course is a practical, hands-on guide to Docker containers, designed to help you confidently build, run, manage, and troubleshoot containerised applications in real-world environments.

Unlike theory-heavy courses, this course focuses on doing. You will work with Docker step by step, starting from the fundamentals and progressing toward production-ready container workflows used in DevOps and cloud-native platforms.

You’ll learn how Docker really works, how to write efficient Dockerfiles, manage container networking and storage, run multi-container applications using Docker Compose, and how to apply best practices for performance, security, and reliability.

The course is taught by a Lead Cloud & cloud-native security architect with hands-on experience in Kubernetes, AWS, OCI, and real production systems, ensuring everything you learn is grounded in real operational use cases, not just demos.

By the end of this course, you will have a strong Docker foundation and be fully prepared to move forward with Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native architectures.
