Building Advanced Docker Skills E-Learning

For this Learning Kit, we assume that the learner is familiar with Docker and has either been through some beginning and intermediate training or has some experience configuring and deploying Docker solutions. After completing this learning, learners will advance their skills in various Docker technologies, including Docker Compose, multi-Docker deployments within and outside the cloud, advanced security and administration topics, performance enhancement, and advanced debugging techniques.
The Building Advanced Docker Skills Learning Kit will focus primarily on developer resources, including front and back-end developers, full stack developers, and product/project managers. The latter primarily providing resourcing and project guidance.

Learning Kits are structured learning paths, mainly within the Emerging Tech area. A Learning Kit keeps
the student working toward an overall goal, helping them to achieve your career aspirations. Each part takes the student step by step through a diverse set of topic areas. Learning Kits are
made up of required tracks, which contain all of the learning resources available such as Assessments (Final Exams), Mentor, Practice Labs and of course E learning. And all resources with a 365 days access from first activation.

This Learning Kit with more than 15 hours of learning is divided into three tracks:
