Docker containers help you simplify your application delivery. In this course, instructor Emmanuel Henri shows you how to leverage this popular platform for application development and walks you through deploying your first Docker app. Emmanuel gets you started with base application setup, as well as instructions to create your first Docker image and explore base commands. He introduces back-end and front-end workflows, shows you how to finalize and test your setup for both back-end and front-end, then goes over putting it all together in a full stack setup. Emmanuel explores ways to use Swarm and Kubernetes, then finishes up with a detailed discussion of using a continuous integration (CI) cycle with your application.
