1: History and Motivation
Examine the evolution of virtualization technologies from bare metal, virtual machines, and containers and the tradeoffs between them.
2: Technology Overview
Explores the three core Linux features that enable containers to function (cgroups, namespaces, and union filesystems), as well as the architecture of the Docker components.
3: Installation and Set Up

7: Container Registries
Use container registries such as Dockerhub to share and distribute container images.
8: Running Containers
Use Docker and Docker Compose to run the containerized application from Module 5.
9: Container Security
Learn best practices for container image and container runtime security.
10: Interacting with Docker Objects
Explore how to use Docker to interact with containers, container images, volumes, and networks.

12: Deploying Containers
Deploy containerized applications to production using a variety of approaches.
Tests
We want to run tests in an environment as similar as possible to production, so it only makes sense to do so inside of our containers!
Test compose file
We will take advantage of the ability to specify multiple docker compose yaml files (as described in the previous lesson) to create a custom test configuration.
All we need to do is include commands to override the defaults that execute our test suite(s):
services:
api-node:
command:
- "npm"
- "run"
- "test"
api-golang:
command:
- "go"
- "test"
- "-v"
- "./..."
Executing tests
To execute the tests we can then run the following docker compose commands:
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml -f docker-compose-test.yml run --rm api-node
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml -f docker-compose-test.yml run --rm api-golang
These commands will overlay the test configuration on the development configuration, run the tests for each service, and remove the containers after the tests are executed.
