Overview
Week 6: Introduction to Containers
This week's goal is to dive in to the theory and practical application of containerization, primarily using Docker, as a fundamental component of Cloud Native development. Through lectures and required readings, you will grasp the core principles of containers and the cloud-native ecosystem, while the hands-on workshop and exercises are designed to build proficiency in running single containers and using Docker Compose to manage multi-container applications, thereby preparing you to integrate these skills into a CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) workflow.
