# Docker Deep Dive Training

> Develop practical Docker skills through mentor-led sessions and real-world container deployment scenarios. This programme focuses on container images, Dockerfiles, networking, volumes, and troubleshooting containerised applications.

## Overview

Containers have transformed how modern applications are built, shipped, and deployed. Docker is one of the most widely used container platforms, enabling developers and engineers to package applications with their dependencies into portable, consistent environments.

This mentor-led programme introduces the essential concepts required to build and manage containerised applications using Docker. Learners explore container images, Dockerfiles, networking, storage volumes, and container lifecycle management used in real development and cloud environments.

Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, participants learn how to build Docker images, run containers, manage storage and networking, and troubleshoot container environments. By the end of the programme, learners will understand how Docker supports modern application deployment and DevOps workflows.
