Containerizing Web Applications with Docker and Azure Container Registry

Modern web development requires applications to run consistently across different environments, from local machines to the cloud. Containerization solves this challenge by packaging your code and dependencies together, ensuring seamless deployment every time. In this text-based course, you will transition from writing standard web applications to building, managing, and deploying secure containerized applications. You will gain a solid foundation in container technologies and learn to store your application images in a private registry. What you'll learn: Understand core containerization concepts, terminology, and Docker architecture; Build custom Docker images using Dockerfiles and optimize them with multi-stage builds; Manage and run containers locally to test application behavior; Configure and use Azure Container Registry to store your private container images securely; Apply container security best practices, including using lightweight base images. You will begin with foundational concepts of containerization before moving on to practical step-by-step written guides that show you how to write Dockerfiles, build images, and push them to a private cloud registry. This course is designed for beginner developers, system administrators, and DevOps enthusiasts who are new to containerization and want to learn Docker from scratch without any prior experience.
