Docker Certified Associate Online Course

Docker Certified Associate Online Course

About the Course

This video course is designed to equip you with the skills to set up Docker in both AWS and Linux environments while also preparing you for the Docker Certified Associate (DCA) exam.

The course begins with an introduction to Docker Swarm orchestration, followed by step-by-step guidance on installing Docker across your systems. You’ll learn to create Docker images using Dockerfiles, manage them using command-line interface (CLI) tools, and set up a private image registry to store and retrieve images.

As you advance, the course covers essential Docker components such as containers, volumes, images, and registries. You’ll also explore Docker networking, deploy Docker Swarm on AWS EC2 instances, and get a brief introduction to Docker Enterprise and Kubernetes.

Who should take this course?

The Docker Certified Associate Online Course is ideal for DevOps engineers, software developers, system administrators, and IT professionals who want to learn how to develop, deploy, and manage containerized applications using Docker. It’s also suitable for individuals preparing for the Docker Certified Associate (DCA) certification exam. Prior experience with Linux command-line, basic scripting, and understanding of containerization concepts is recommended for effective learning.
