Docker for DevOps: From Development to Production

Modern software development requires more than just writing code; it demands a deep understanding of how applications are deployed and managed in production environments. This course provides a clear path for developers to bridge the gap between their local environment and the cloud using containerization. You will transition from a manual deployment mindset to a professional DevOps workflow, ensuring your applications are portable, scalable, and consistent across any infrastructure. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental architecture of containers, images, and the Docker engine. - Learn to write efficient Dockerfiles using multi-stage builds to optimize image size and security. - Configure multi-service environments using Docker Compose for seamless local development. - Apply security best practices including image scanning and non-root user configurations. - Manage production-ready deployments with reverse proxies and persistent data storage. - Practice automating the build and deployment lifecycle for web applications. The course begins with essential terminology and core concepts before moving into practical written exercises that demonstrate how to containerize and orchestrate real-world web frameworks. You will read through detailed explanations and apply your knowledge by configuring environment files and deployment scripts. This course is designed for beginners and developers who are new to containerization; no prior DevOps or systems administration experience is required.
