Docker Containerization Essentials Course Overview

To ensure that students are well-prepared and can make the most out of the Docker Containerization Essentials course, the following minimum prerequisites are recommended:

• Basic understanding of software development and the software development lifecycle.
• Familiarity with command-line interfaces (CLI), as Docker is typically interacted with via command line.
• Knowledge of Linux fundamentals, including working with the Linux command line, file systems, and basic networking, as Docker uses features of the Linux kernel.
• Basic understanding of virtualization concepts, although in-depth knowledge is not mandatory.
• Some experience with common development tasks and environments, which will help in understanding the deployment and scaling benefits of containers.

Please note, while these prerequisites are aimed at providing a solid foundation for the course, individuals with a strong willingness to learn and who are comfortable with self-study may also successfully complete the course, even if they don't meet all the above criteria. Koenig Solutions welcomes all learners and provides the necessary support to help them achieve their learning goals.
