Docker Installation and Docker Commands
Explore how to install Docker and utilize Docker Machine to create and manage virtual Docker hosts. Understand commands for configuring Docker environments locally or in cloud infrastructures. This lesson helps you efficiently set up isolated Docker hosts with tools like VirtualBox and cloud drivers, supporting microservice deployment and testing.
We'll cover the following...
