Course Objective

The power of containerization

Have you ever tried setting up a new project on your laptop? Have you used any virtualization tool like VMware or Virtualbox to run Ubuntu on your Windows or Mac machine? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, you probably already know how much time it takes to set it up and get your project running. It takes a minimum of an hour or so and sometimes much more.

What if I tell you that you can do both of these tasks in just 30 minutes? That’s the power of containerization, and Docker is something that will let us use that power.

What this course can do for you
