Docker is a platform designed for developers and system administrators to manage distributed applications. It includes a runtime environment for running containers and a service for sharing these containers.

With Docker, the same application can run unchanged on laptops, dedicated servers, and virtual servers, ensuring consistency across various environments.

This course, during the first two days, provides an introduction to basic Docker usage, which is beneficial for both developers and system administrators. The course includes numerous hands-on exercises, allowing participants to practice in their own Docker environment and build their own Docker images.

On the final day, participants will learn about more advanced tools that support Docker, including Docker Machine, Docker Compose, and Docker Swarm. These tools are essential for enhancing efficiency and scalability in container management for government workflows.
