 Learn what containers are and how they differ from virtual machines.
 Install Docker on your system (Windows, Mac, or Linux).
 Learn basic Docker CLI commands (docker run, docker ps, docker stop,
docker logs, etc.).
 Pull and run images from Docker Hub.
 Understand container networking and persistent storage (volumes).
 Create and run a simple containerized Python app using a Dockerfile.

Week 2: Intermediate Docker (5-7 days)

 Learn to write optimized Dockerfiles (reduce image size, caching layers).


 Work with Docker Compose to manage multiple containers.
 Handle environment variables and secrets management in containers.
 Debug and troubleshoot container issues.
 Learn about multi-stage builds for better efficiency.

Week 3: Deployment & Orchestration (5-7 days)

 Deploy Docker containers on cloud platforms like Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure.
 Learn Docker Swarm or start exploring Kubernetes for container orchestration.
 Automate container workflows with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab
CI/CD).
 Learn about monitoring and scaling Docker containers in production.

Week 4: Hands-on Projects & Advanced Concepts ( 5-7 days)

 Build and deploy a real-world project using Docker.


 Learn Docker security best practices.
 Explore container networking in-depth (bridge, host, overlay networks).

Final Learning Time Estimate

 Basic Docker knowledge → 1-2 weeks


 Intermediate usage & deployment → 2-3 weeks
 Advanced Docker (production & orchestration) → 3-4 weeks

Recommended Learning Resources

 Docker Official Documentation: https://docs.docker.com
