If you want to thrive in the modern cloud-first world, you need to know Docker. But don’t stress, this course will give you all the skills you need.

To kick things off, you will learn how to deploy apps with Docker Compose, a key tool for managing multi-container applications running in single-engine mode. You will then move onto Docker Swarm which will allow you to stand up containers and orchestrate them at scale.

Towards the back half of the course, you will take a deep dive into Docker Networking, deploying apps with Docker Stacks, and some of the industry tools used for keeping Docker secure.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to run Docker at scale, no matter how many containers you have.

Docker Deep Dive: Advanced Techniques


Docker Swarm is Docker's native technology for managing clusters of Docker nodes and deploying and managing cloud-native applications. It is similar to Kubernetes.

At its core, Swarm has a secure clustering component and an orchestration component.

The secure clustering component is enterprise-grade and offers a wealth of security and HA features that are automatically configured and extremely simple to modify.

The orchestration component allows you to deploy and manage cloud-native microservices applications in a simple declarative manner.

We'll dig deeper into deploying cloud-native microservices apps in a declarative manner in **[Deploying Application with Docker Stacks](https://www.educative.io/courses/advanced-docker-techniques/introduction-to-docker-stacks)**.

This lesson is a summary of the concepts learned in this chapter.
