Docker is a platform that allows you to package and run applications in an isolated environment called a container. In contrast to virtualization, Docker containers are lighter, more portable, and faster.

This session aims to teach participants how to use Docker to easily set up a development environment, and how to package and deploy their own applications with Docker.

Basic command-line knowledge (bash or PowerShell) required. Docker should be installed beforehand.
