What is this course about?
A lab-only path through production Docker.
Every item in this course is a real environment you launch, operate and repair: guided labs, troubleshooting challenges, three practical exams and a capstone release. There are no video lectures and no reading-only lessons — if you want those, take Hands-on Docker, which covers the same ground with the teaching attached.
Each module closes with a short quiz on what you just did.
You will build, break, diagnose and ship the same application across twelve modules, ending with a production release you take from source to a verified, rolled-back-and-recovered deployment.

How do you practise inside the course?
Lab lessons are part of the curriculum. From a lab lesson you launch a guided environment that opens in a new browser tab, work through the task in a real shell, and the result is reported back to your course progress.
- Launched from the lesson page — the environment opens in a new browser tab
- Guided practical tasks that match the lesson you just finished
- Every session has a time limit; the lesson shows when it ends
- Your lab result and score are recorded on the lesson when the session finishes
- Every lab in this course is included, free.
