This exciting and practical one-day introductory course has been designed to address the needs of people keen to use Containerization (Docker and Podman in particular). The course concentrates on giving both newcomers - and those who want to brush-up their knowledge - a hands-on introduction to containerization and its ecosystem. Participants will spend the day discovering the benefits that it offers both sysadmins and developers who will also learn to set up, manage and use Containers.
