Introduction to Docker & Containerization

Docker is gaining popularity and its usage is spreading like wildfire. The reason for Docker’s growing popularity is the extent to which it can be used in an IT organization. Very few tools out there have the functionality to find itself useful to both developers and as well as system administrators. Docker is one such tool that truly lives up to its promise of Build, Ship and Run.

In this session Bob Reselman, Independent Developer, Industry Analyst, Technical Educator will give attendees a conceptual & practical exposure to Docker – A state of the art containerization technology.

Topics that will be covered:

• What is Virtualization?
• What is Containerization
• Advantages of Containerization over Virtualization
• Introduction to Docker
• Benefits of Docker
• Virtualization vs Containerization
• Docker Installation
• Dockerfile, Docker Image & Docker Container
• What is Docker Hub?
• Docker Architecture
• Docker Compose
And more if time allows

Docker is a software containerization platform, meaning you can build your application, package them along with their dependencies into a container and then these containers can be easily shipped to run on other machines.
