Create a Container

What the hell is a Container:

  • smallest form of an APP
  • They're SCALABLE
  • Great for RAPID Developement

Create your first Container​

Start wih Docker https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/:

Figure out your OS
# I hope you know your OS
Just like a hypervisor, you will need to have Virtualization enabled in your BIOS
Containers will embed the OS of the app they need, this is the only time where Windows is a a bigger PITA that Linux

CONTAINERS are the road to ON PREM - CLOUD harmony

Find your Hub

The best one doesn't start with POR

Container Registries:
Docker Hub
Amazon ECR
Harbor
Azure Container Registry
