Docker - Administration Training

The Docker – Administration course is aimed at professionals who want to deepen their Docker expertise in more structured operational contexts. Beyond simply using containers, this course covers the administration, security, storage, networking and light orchestration mechanisms needed to operate Docker reliably and efficiently in a corporate setting.

Deepen your skills in operations, security, storage and orchestration with Docker

Throughout this course, you will learn how to administer a Docker engine, optimize images, manage registries, set up persistent volumes, secure containerized environments and deploy services in a Docker Swarm cluster. This course is the natural continuation of Docker – Fundamentals and prepares you for more advanced Docker uses in demanding technical environments.
