Introduction

A container serves as a uniform module of software that wraps together code and its prerequisites, enabling consistent and dependable execution of applications across diverse computing environments. Within a Docker context, a container image stands as a compact, self-sufficient, and executable bundle encompassing all essentials for application operation: encompassing code, runtime components, system utilities, libraries, and configurations, ensuring seamless deployment and operation.

Tasks

  1. Use the docker run command to start a new container and interact with it through the command line. [Hint: docker run hello-world]

  2. Use the docker inspect command to view detailed information about a container or image.

  3. Use the docker port command to list the port mappings for a container.

  4. Use the docker stats command to view resource usage statistics for one or more containers.

  5. Use the docker top command to view the processes running inside a container

  6. Use the docker save command to save an image to a tar archive.

  7. Use the docker load command to load an image from a tar archive.
