Master everything you need to know about Docker containers to easily create, deploy, and run your applications with containers.

DevOps for Developers

By now, you've probably heard the buzz around Docker. It's fundamentally changed the development process and been adopted by software teams of all sizes, and for good reason: Docker makes it considerably easier to create, deploy, and run applications with the use of containers.

Docker is here to stay, and is becoming one of the most in-demand technologies on the market. Mastering it now will help you produce better software, level up your career, and stand out from the crowd. Get started today.

Docker for Developers

A typical web application looks something like the following:

The application is made of files served by an HTTP server (Apache here, but it could be Kestrel, IIS, NGINX, ...), a runtime (PHP 5.6 here) and a development framework (Wordpress 4.9 here).

Without containers, the dependencies and files are all placed together on a server. Since managing these dependencies is time-consuming, similar apps are typically grouped on the same server, sharing their dependencies:



In this lesson, you will learn how containers solve dependency conflicts between similar applications on the same server.
