Containers package an application and its dependencies together, ensuring consistency across different environments and simplifying deployment. + +## Introduction to Docker + +Docker is an open-source platform for developing, shipping, and running applications inside containers. It provides an easy-to-use CLI and APIs to manage containerized applications. + +### Key Concepts + +- **Images:** Read-only templates that define the contents of a container. +- **Containers:** Instances of Docker images running as isolated processes. +- **Dockerfile:** A script containing instructions to build a Docker image. +- **Docker Hub:** A cloud-based registry service for sharing Docker images. + +## Dockerizing Applications + +Dockerizing an application involves creating a Dockerfile and building a Docker image. + +### Example: Dockerizing a Node.js Application + +```dockerfile +# Use an official Node.js runtime as a parent image +FROM node:14 + +# Set the working directory +WORKDIR /app + +# Copy package.json and install dependencies +COPY package.json ./ +RUN npm install + +# Copy the application code +COPY . . + +# Expose the application port +EXPOSE 3000 + +# Run the application +CMD ["node", "index.js"] +``` + +## Docker Compose + +Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications using a YAML file. + +### Example: Docker Compose for a Web Application and Database + +```yaml +version: '3' +services: + web: + image: myapp:latest + ports: + - "3000:3000" + db: + image: postgres:latest + environment: + POSTGRES_USER: user + POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password + POSTGRES_DB: mydb +``` + +## Docker Networking + +Docker networking allows containers to communicate with each other and external systems. + +### Example: Creating a Docker Network + +```bash +docker network create my_network +``` + +## Docker Volumes and Storage +Docker volumes are used to persist data generated by and used by Docker containers. + +### Example: Creating and Using a Docker Volume + +```bash +docker volume create my_volume +docker run -d --name my_container -v my_volume:/data myapp:latest +``` + +## Introduction to Kubernetes + +Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
