Practical Docker and CI: Building Automated Workflows

Struggling with inconsistent development environments or manual deployment processes? This course provides the foundational knowledge to containerize your applications and automate your build and test cycles. By the end of this course, you will confidently apply Docker for containerization and grasp the core concepts of continuous integration, enabling you to create more reliable and efficient software delivery workflows. What you'll learn: Understand fundamental Docker concepts including images, containers, volumes, and networking. Build optimized Docker images using multi-stage build patterns for efficiency. Apply basic container security principles to enhance application robustness. Configure Docker Compose to manage multi-service applications in local development environments. Learn the core principles of continuous integration (CI) pipelines and their benefits. Understand how CI integrates with version control systems and automated testing. Practice setting up basic automated build and test workflows for your projects. The course begins by demystifying containerization with Docker, moving through practical examples to build and manage applications. It then transitions into the principles of continuous integration, guiding you through the steps to automate your development workflows. This course is designed for absolute beginners in software development, operations, or anyone looking to understand and implement Docker and continuous integration. No prior experience with containerization or CI/CD is required. Start your journey towards modern software development practices today.
