Handle Data and Stateful Applications in Docker and Kubernetes - Part 1
In this lab, you’ll practice Docker containerization of applications. When you’re finished, you’ll have performed handling data and stateful applications in Docker.
Terms and conditions apply.
Challenge
Getting Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
Challenge
Navigating the Container Filesystem
To start this lab, you'll navigate the container filesystem, and perform image and layer inspection using the Docker CLI.
Challenge
Writing Data to Containers
Next, you'll start to write data to containers and analyze how this affects the container. You will also view logs and create container layers.
Challenge
Persistent Storage Using Volumes
To finish off the lab, you will look at volumes, and mount them into the container's filesystem—a critical aspect of supporting stateful containers.
Provided environment for hands-on practice
We will provide the credentials and environment necessary for you to practice right within your browser.
