Overview

The language-specific getting started guides walk you through the process of setting up your development environment and start containerising language-specific applications using Docker. 

In this course, best practices and guidelines explain how to create a new Dockerfile in your preferred language, what to include in the Docker image, how to develop and run your Docker image. 

Good security is all about layers, and Docker has lots of layers. You will look at some of the technologies that can make running containers on Docker very secure.

Docker provides the ability to package and run an application in a loosely isolated environment called a container. The isolation and security allow you to run many containers simultaneously on a given host. Containers are lightweight and contain everything needed to run the application, so you do not need to rely on what is currently installed on the host. You can easily share containers while you work, and be sure that everyone you share with gets the same container that works in the same way. 

By the end of this course, you’ll learn how to build and run an image as a container, Share images using Docker Hub, Deploy Docker applications using multiple containers with a database and how to Run applications using Docker Compose.
