Overview

In recent years, few IT tools have been as disruptive or innovative as Docker. Lightweight and fast, the open-source Docker engine provides an environment to run code as well as an efficient workflow to get the code from developer machines to the test environment, and rapidly into production. Docker streamlines the deployment of applications into isolated containers, allowing versatile new solutions across the entire IT value chain.


This Docker training workshop is ideal for developers and operations staff who want to containerize and improve reliability throughout the entire software development lifecycle. To get the most out of the course, participants should be familiar with some Linux basics, including package management, basic networking, and simple shell scripting.


This Docker Containerization Boot Camp is a continuous hands-on workshop that teaches you how to use Docker and the workloads for which it is best suited. From your clean new Docker install on the first day, you work through continuous real-world use cases to learn pragmatic, immediately useful skills. Our real-world format gets you up and running as quickly as possible with the technology, and focuses on making sure you understand how to best integrate Docker into your workflow for maximum productivity as soon as you return to work.

  • Audience

    This workshop is ideal for developers and operations staff who want to containerize and improve reliability throughout the entire software development life cycle.


    Professionals who may benefit include:


    • System and software architects
    • Developers
    • Testers and QA teams
    • Release engineers
    • IT operations staff
    • Site reliability engineers
    • DevOps practitioners
    • DBAs and data engineering teams

  • Objectives

    In the Jenkins User Boot Camp (Java/Python) Course, you will:

    • Rapidly deploy applications by completely avoiding full machine and/or OS virtualization—vastly reducing application size and delivery time.
    • Develop for nearly universal portability by bundling all application dependencies into one container.
    • Implement version control with recursive reuse—making applications much more lightweight and simplifying version control and rollback.
    • Enjoy extremely lightweight, minimal overhead through small Docker images— making delivery and deployment of new application containers as fast as it gets.
    • Simplify maintenance with much less overhead and fewer dependencies.
