What you'll learn
Know what a container really is
Explain images, layers, and the kernel features that make isolation work, rather than treating it as magic.
Build images that rebuild in seconds
Order a Dockerfile so the cache does its job and a code change does not reinstall every dependency.
Ship a small, safe image
Use multi-stage builds and non-root users to cut both size and attack surface.
Run a full stack locally
Wire an app, a database, and a cache together with Compose, including volumes and networking.
