Unit 4: Containerization and Automation

In Unit 4 we begin to isolate our work from our development environment through a process called containerization. We will learn how to use existing containers, build our own containers, and push containers to a public container registry. We will also see how to automate some of our more tedious processes in order to speed up the development cycle.

• Introduction to Containers
• Advanced Containers
• Makefile Automation
• Docker Compose

If you don’t have one already, please create an account on Docker Hub, which we will use extensively in this class. (The username does not have to be the same as your GitHub username, but it will make things less confusing later on if the usernames match).
