About this course
This course develops practical capability in Docker Advanced. Its course-specific content covers Advanced builds, Image optimisation, Runtime isolation, Network and storage internals, followed by an applied project focused on build a secure and efficient container image pipeline. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Docker Advanced or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Working knowledge of containers & kubernetes and practical familiarity with the named platform or subject. Review the course topics before enrolment to confirm the lab starting point.
Build a secure and efficient container image pipeline
Deliver build a secure and efficient container image pipeline. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
