Foundational knowledge of container technology, focused on Docker and container workflows. Topics include what containers are and how they differ from virtual machines, container images and registries, building and reading Dockerfiles, running containers, volume and file system mounting, basic container networking, image layering and size optimization, and common use cases such as reproducible deployments for machine learning and microservices. Candidates should be able to explain the container lifecycle, why containerization matters in DevOps, and demonstrate simple hands on tasks like writing a basic Dockerfile and running containers locally.
