Docker Curriculum
This is a step-by-step tutorial that teaches Docker from the ground up, covering how to build images from Dockerfiles, run and manage containers, and connect them on user-defined networks. The guide walks through packaging applications into portable containers and using Docker Compose to define and orchestrate multi-service applications with a single YAML configuration.
The curriculum extends into cloud deployment, explaining how to push images to registries like Docker Hub and deploy single-container applications to AWS Elastic Beanstalk as well as multi-container setups to AWS ECS. It also covers practical development workflows like mounting host directories into containers for live code reloading, so changes take effect without rebuilding images.
Throughout the material, readers learn fundamental container management tasks including running containers in detached mode, listing and inspecting containers, removing containers and images, and publishing container ports for external access. The tutorial provides hands-on experience with building Dockerized applications and managing multi-container services.
