- Number of Hours
Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure)
Description of this Docker Training Courseer
The Docker training course enables you to create your own images, manage your containers and orchestrate your services with Docker Compose.
You will develop key skills to industrialise your deployments and gain portability across all types of environments.
You will also learn how to prepare your deployments for test, pre-production and production environments.
Today, Docker has established itself as an essential standard for application development and deployment.
It allows you to encapsulate each application in a portable, isolated and consistent unit.
As a result, you benefit from enhanced portability, reliable execution and simplified dependency management.

Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
This training course is part of our DevOps Training Courses. Discover our complete DevOps offer to go further in automation, CI/CD and infrastructure industrialisation.
objectives of this Docker Training Course
By the end, each participant will be able to :
- Explain how containers and the Docker engine work.
- Build and configure your own Docker images from Dockerfiles.
- Launch, monitor and manipulate application containers according to different scenarios.
- Orchestrate multiple services with Docker Compose to manage multi-container environments.
- Master volumes, networks and environment variables to ensure portability.
- Apply security best practices while optimising image size and performance.
- Prepare reproducible deployments, whether locally, in pre-production or in the cloud.
- Participants will thus gain a solid technical foundation for effectively integrating Docker into their development, testing or operations projects.
Prerequisites
To get the most out of the course, we recommend that you :
- have a good grasp of the basics of command line and development,nderstand the principles of application architecture (API, database, web server, etc.),
- have a Linux or Windows environment with WSL, recommended for practical workshops.
- Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
Target Audience
Developers, integrators, DevOps, and system administrators who wish to industrialise and improve the reliability of their applications.
Detailed of this Docker Training Course
Introduction to Docker and containerisation

- Identify use cases for Docker in the application lifecycle.
- Install Docker on different operating systems.
- his will give you a solid foundation for tackling the more technical parts.
Gestion des conteneurs Docker
- Create, run, stop, and delete containers.
- Use essential Docker CLI commands.
- View running processes and execution logs.
- At the same time, you will learn how to troubleshoot containers in case of errors.
Creating and managing Docker images
- Writing effective Dockerfiles
Building images from an existing project - Managing image versions with tags
- Publishing your images to a registry (Docker Hub or private)
- In addition, you will discover tips for reducing the size of your images.
Orchestration with Docker Compose
- Understand the structure of a docker-compose.yml file.
- Define multiple services (app, database, proxy, etc.).
- Launch and monitor a multi-container environment.
- Use environment variables and shared volumes.
- As a result, you will be able to create a complete environment for development or testing.
Best practices and deployment
- Apply best practices for Docker security
- Manage networks, ports, volumes, and secrets
- Prepare a reproducible deployment (local, pre-production, cloud)
- Introduction to Docker Swarm and Kubernetes (optional depending on the group’s level)
- Finally, you will consolidate what you have learned with a real-world project.
The advantages of this training course
This training course :
- Is not just a simple ‘overview’: it involves practical, comprehensive hands-on exercises.
- Adopts a Dev + Ops approach: useful in both development and production.
- Offers real, reproducible use cases (API + database + front end, for example).
- Emphasises security and maintainability, which are often overlooked in basic training courses.
FAQ – Docker Training
What is Docker?
Docker is the containerization technology that packages an application and its dependencies into a lightweight, portable image, run in an isolated container. It standardizes dev, test, and prod environments and simplifies deployments. MFE-IT trains developers and DevOps teams to master Docker from A to Z.
What is the difference between a Docker image and a container?
An image is an immutable template, made of layers, that describes the application and its environment. A container is a running instance of that image, isolated from the host system. You can launch multiple containers from the same image. MFE-IT clarifies these concepts with practical examples.
What are the best practices for writing a Dockerfile?
Start from a minimal base image (Alpine, distroless), use multi-stage builds, order instructions to leverage the cache, never store secrets, define a non-root user, document with LABEL, and use.dockerignore. MFE-IT reviews these patterns in real-world cases.
How long is the MFE-IT Docker training?
The training lasts 3 days, i.e. 21 hours, either remotely or on-site, with a maximum of 3 participants per session and 30 days of post-training support included.
