Overview

The Docker Fundamentals classroom training program is a unique and one-of-a-

kind training that focuses on both “concepts” and “application” of Docker Con-
tainers. This is a highly interactive workshop and it makes ample use of discus-
sions and exercises to help participants hone essential implementation skills. The
course explores real-world scenarios/situations and challenges, and help you
devise powerful solutions.

Some of the elements that the participants will learn during the workshop
include:

• Introduction to Docker

terprise-focused scenarios, and
• Secrets
practical examples.

Format: In-Person
Total Hours: 16

Docker training course is designed

in such a way that learners are

Highlights
• Containers are a solution to the
problem of how to get the soft-
ware to run reliably when moved
from one computing environment
to another.
• From Gmail to YouTube to Search,
everything runs in containers in
Google. Containerization allows
development teams to move fast,
deploy software efficiently, and
operate on an unprecedented
scale.
• If you are looking for Reproducibil-
ity, Isolation, Security, Environ-
ment Management, and Continu-
ous Integration, all offered by a
single technology, then Docker

5. Security

• Describe the process of signing an image

• Demonstrate that an image passes a security scan
• Enable Docker Content Trust
• Configure RBAC in UCP
New applications and services are what keep
• Integrate UCP with LDAP/AD
your competitive edge. With Docker, organiza-
• Demonstrate creation of UCP client bundles
tions are able to triple their speed to deliver
• Describe default engine security
new services with development and operation-
• Describe swarm default security

• Describe MTLS
• Identity roles
Take the frustration out of setting up develop-
• Describe the difference between UCP workers and managers
ment environments with Docker, empower
• Describe the process to use external certificates with UCP and DTR
your developers to be productive on day one.
Docker removes the friction of “dependency
hell” to make getting started and shipping new
code faster and easier.

Supercharge development to deployment with

Docker. Containerization breaks down barriers
for DevOps teams to accelerate deployment
times and frequency.

Optimize your costs by increasing your applica-

tion workload density, getting better utilization
of your server compute density and reducing
software licensing costs.

Gain operational agility by streamlining and

automating the management of diverse appli-
cations and infrastructure silos into a uniform
operating model to simplify the supply chain,
while improving scalability and security across
the enterprise.

Ensure customer satisfaction and service levels

by accelerating your mean time to resolution
for issues. Easily roll back and deploy fixes to
your applications.
