This webinar will introduce you to Docker - why everyone's talking about it, what makes it so useful, and how developers and operators use it to improve their workflows. Attendees of this webinar will receive not only a high-level overview of Docker concepts and terminology, but a few practical examples that empower them to use Docker for their own projects immediately.
Content Overview
The webinar covers these topics:
- What are Linux containers?
- What is Docker and how does it relate to Linux containers and orchestration systems like Kubernettes?
- What are Docker Engine, Docker Compose and Docker Swarm?
- Docker use of Linux namespaces
- Overlay file systems and Docker volumes
- Creating application stacks with Docker Compose
- Container clusters using Docker Swarm
- Deploying cluster application stacks with Docker Stack
The hands-on examples include:
- Basic Docker CLI commands
- Starting, stopping, killing and troubleshooting Docker containers
- Running services in Docker containers
- Building Docker images
- Using Docker volumes
- Using Docker Compose on a single Docker host
- Simple Docker Swarm tasks
- Using Docker Stack to create application stacks in Docker Swarm cluster

About the webinar
- I think that few real world examples of how Docker is being used in production, could have been great. But all in all, very good into!
- Dan Shechter
- To the point - there are take-aways even if you are already familiar with the technology
- Ernest Altbart
- It was okay, but not up to the usual ipspace standards.
- Kevin B Gray
- Thanks for another outstanding session. I did not know "docker system prune" existed. I am really looking forward the next session when you will cover docker networking.

- perfect balance of depth. Thank you!
- Fredrick Lowery
- Very good grounding into Docker. I already have been looking at some future personal work in this area. The super-basic labs are great.
I have a few comments:
(1) Maybe this was covered and I missed it, but I would emphasize how every docker change makes a new image.
(2) Docker *seems* like a great use case for IPv6 (versus kludgy IPv4 NAT rules). If you agree, perhaps create a lab example? - Dan Augustine

About the materials
- I haven't any experience in Docker before and then two hours was a bit too short for me but was very interesting. I will watch the video again at my own pace now :-).
Very nice presentation. Thank you! - Noel Sestayo
- I'm still learning about Docker, but thus far I can provide the following.
Security: Make sure to cover how Docker containers share the kernel of the host in a secure and resource containing manner using kernel namespaces and control groups.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/security/
Networking: I know that Docker networking is still in development, but demonstrations of how containers communicate within a host or among hosts using a Docker-based overlay isn't especially helpful. It is required, but not what I'm really looking for. I need to know how to really tie containers to the outside world, how to provide L4-L7 services, and how to do it at scale for real world production environments. The demonstration was great for a lab environment, but I need to see how to make this work in the real world; including multi-tenancy. - Kevin B Gray
