Day 3 - Docker Beginner course
Monday, June 9 — Finished Docker Beginner course without labs
Felt good to finally gain some momentum today. Unlike yesterday, I managed to stay on track and make progress across multiple fronts.
📦 Learning & Upskilling
-
Finished the Docker for the Absolute Beginner course (except for the labs).
Started the labs, and plan to complete them today. 🧪 -
Started the Kubernetes for Beginners course on KodeKloud — aiming to wrap it up by tomorrow.
It’s a hands-on course and a great prep for CKAD. -
Found some really promising follow-up courses to line up:
- Jenkins: Jenkins Masterclass
- OpenShift: Learn OpenShift
- Podman: Podman for Absolute Beginners
- Agentic AI: Complete Agentic AI Bootcamp with LangGraph & LangChain
- MLOps: Mastering Advanced MLOps on GCP
🐳 Docker Review
Revisited concepts from the Docker Beginner Course and consolidated my learning:
My Docker Notes via Gemini
Feeling much more comfortable with:
- Images vs containers
- Dockerfile structure
- Volumes, ports, and environment variables
- Docker Compose basics
🔍 Cool GitHub Project I Found
Came across this awesome real-time streaming pipeline project:
Tech Stack:
- Kafka
- Databricks
- Snowflake
This was a great example of how to tie together streaming ingestion, real-time transformation, and cloud-based analytics.
🚀 Tomorrow’s Plan
- Complete the Docker labs
- Start the Kubernetes beginner course
- System Design
Small wins today → Big shifts tomorrow.
