FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where can I learn Docker with IIA?

Docker is taught in our programmes, notably the Cloud & DevOps course, which dedicates a full day to it: images, containers, volumes, networks, Docker Compose, registries and security.

What is the difference between Docker and a virtual machine?

A virtual machine includes a complete operating system. A Docker container shares the host machine's kernel: it is lighter, starts faster and uses fewer resources.

What is Docker Compose for?

Docker Compose describes, in a single file, an application made of several containers (for example a website, a database and a cache) and starts them together.

Do I need to know Linux to learn Docker?

Linux and networking basics are recommended: they are the prerequisites of the Cloud & DevOps course.

Is the course online?

Yes, with live classes and replays.
