Docker concepts and microservices architecture are discussed. Key points include:
- Microservices architecture involves breaking applications into small, independent services that communicate over well-defined APIs. Each service runs in its own process and communicates through lightweight mechanisms like REST/HTTP.
- Docker allows packaging and running applications securely isolated in lightweight containers from their dependencies and libraries. Docker images are used to launch containers which appear as isolated Linux systems running on the host.
- Common Docker commands demonstrated include pulling public images, running interactive containers, building custom images with Dockerfiles, and publishing images to Docker Hub registry.
