In this lab you will explore the fundamental concepts of Docker containers, and running multiple containers using Docker Compose. The final part of this session will be a live demo of using Docker Swarm. The sample application you will be building in this workshop is a simple microservice with its own gateway, runtime and database.

There are three parts to this lab.

Lab 1 - Basic Docker lab, and creating a container with a web server

Lab2 - Docker compose and building multiple containers that work together into a microservice

Demo using Docker Swarm 1.12 to turn a group of VMs into a single virtual Docker engine.
