Learners will be able to explain containerization concepts, apply Docker fundamentals, execute core Docker commands, and analyze container startup behavior in real-world development workflows.

This course provides a clear, practical introduction to Docker for learners who want to build a strong foundation in container-based application delivery. It begins by establishing how Docker fits into modern CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices, helping learners understand why containerization has become essential in today’s software lifecycle. Through structured modules, learners explore what Docker is, why it is used, and how it improves portability, consistency, and deployment reliability across environments. As the course progresses, learners gain hands-on knowledge by installing Docker, working with essential Docker CLI commands, and understanding how containers behave at runtime using CMD, ENTRYPOINT, and RUN instructions. The course emphasizes practical understanding over theory, ensuring learners can confidently interpret Dockerfiles and control container execution behavior. What makes this course unique is its beginner-focused, execution-oriented approach. Instead of overwhelming learners with advanced orchestration topics, it concentrates on mastering Docker essentials that are immediately applicable in development, testing, and CI/CD workflows. By completing this course, learners will be well-prepared to use Docker effectively as a foundational DevOps skill.

This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of Docker and containerization, explaining how containers support modern CI/CD pipelines, improve environment consistency, and enable efficient application delivery in DevOps workflows.
