Exploring Docker: Benefits of Containers

LearnNow Online

Updated Aug 21, 2018

Course Description

There tends to be a lot of confusion surrounding what exactly Docker is but, put simply, it’s a fairly new and continuously rapid-evolving web technology. Explore the possibilities of what Docker is, how to best fit it into your DevOps operations, and some of the potential it offers for your development environment. While the content in this course is current as of recording (following DockerCon 2017), the rapid evolution of the technology can cause some information contained in this course to be superseded by the time you complete the course. So, as with any other technology, it’s imperative to stay up-to-date on the newest changes, news, and updates to ensure your training can remain as relevant as possible.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes the student has some familiarity with virtual machines and how they operate.
