At KloudOps, we’ve designed this Docker Containers Mastery journey to take you from beginner to advanced step by step. Whether you’re just starting with containers or preparing for advanced DevOps roles, this guide will give you the roadmap to success.
🔹 What is Docker?
Docker is a platform that helps developers build, ship, and run applications inside containers. Containers make your app portable, consistent, and efficient.
👉 Example: A Docker container ensures your app runs the same way on your laptop, testing server, or cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
