In this hands-on workshop, we'll learn to run containers, write Dockerfiles, optimize images with multi-stage builds, and orchestrate multi-container apps with Compose. You'll apply what you learn through numerous interactive labs. Topics include Docker fundamentals (docker run), building images with Dockerfiles, optimizing builds to reduce build time and image size, and orchestrating multi-container apps with Compose. Demo apps will be containerized during labs; feel free to bring your own apps for personalized guidance.
