Docker Certified Associate Training

Docker is an open-source platform for automating application deployment using containers. Containers are lightweight, isolated environments that package all the necessary components to run an application. 

With Docker, developers can easily build, distribute, and run applications consistently across different environments. It offers portability, scalability, isolation, and efficiency. Docker simplifies application deployment, improves resource utilization, and ensures reproducibility. 

It has a thriving ecosystem with a vast library of pre-built images and integrates well with other tools and services. Docker has revolutionized application development and deployment workflows, making it a fundamental technology in the industry.

Docker Include:

• Portability: Docker containers are self-contained and can run on any system with Docker, regardless of the underlying operating system or hardware.
• Scalability: Docker allows applications to be easily scaled up or down by creating multiple containers running the same application, providing flexibility in managing resource usage.
• Isolation: Each Docker container operates in its own isolated environment, ensuring that applications and their dependencies do not interfere with each other.
• Efficiency: Docker containers are lightweight, starting up and shutting down quickly, which enables efficient resource utilization and fast deployment.
• Reproducibility: Docker images are version-controlled and can be shared, ensuring consistent application environments across different stages of the development lifecycle.
• Ecosystem: Docker has a large and active community, providing a vast library of pre-built images and a wide range of tools and services that integrate seamlessly with Docker.
