An Introduction to Docker

Stuart Lamont Part of XW18

No doubt you’ve heard about Docker, but do you know what it is and how to leverage it for your needs?

In this Workshop, I’ll take you through some Docker Basics to get you up and running, figure out the difference between VM’s and containers, and give you some ideas for what to use it for in your environment.

In preparation for this workshop, delegates should install Docker Community Edition from: https://store.docker.com/search?type=edition&offering=community

It is also advisable that attendees be comfortable with working in command line.


Stuart is a Mac SysAdmin from Melbourne, with an interest in Automation and Simplification.
