Shipping Docker

This is a comprehensive course in the many uses of Docker. From playing to developing, testing to deploying, we'll cover it all in a way that is easy to understand.

Development

We start with the basics and quickly move into how to use Docker in development.

We'll cover:

• Installing Docker
• Getting familiar with the docker command
• Running containers, seeing their intended uses and limitiations

Testing & CI

We use Docker to create a testing and CI process.

We'll cover:

• Installing and configuring Jenkins
• Automating code tests and image builds
• Saving images to private Docker registries, backed by S3
• Creating a CI workflow (automated testing) with Jenkins
