Certification objective coverage
Every provider-aligned module is connected to a lesson, labs, mock questions, and implementation proof.
This is the track-level audit view for blueprint alignment. Exact exam wording should still be checked against the current official provider guide before public exam-code claims are made.

Study plan
Start with the container mental model: image, layer, container process, filesystem, network, volume, registry, and runtime boundary.
Practise building small images with reproducible Dockerfiles, health checks, non-root users, logs, environment configuration, and cleanup discipline.
Move into Compose, CI/CD, security scanning, registry publishing, observability, and Kubernetes/cloud handoff so the Docker work becomes production evidence.
Hands-on labs
Containerize a small web API with a Dockerfile, pinned dependencies, non-root user, exposed port, health check, logs, and documented build command.
Build a Docker Compose stack with frontend, backend, database, network, named volume, environment file, and service health validation.
Publish a tagged image to a registry with versioning notes, vulnerability scan evidence, SBOM or dependency inventory, and rollback tag strategy.
Troubleshoot a failing container by inspecting logs, exit codes, environment variables, network connectivity, filesystem mounts, and resource limits.
Write a Docker-to-Kubernetes handoff note mapping image, ports, environment, secrets, volumes, probes, resources, and deployment evidence.

Practice questions
What is the difference between a Docker image and a Docker container?
An image is the packaged filesystem and metadata used as a template; a container is a running process created from that image with its own runtime configuration, network, mounts, logs, and lifecycle.
Why should production Docker images avoid running as root?
A non-root runtime reduces the impact of application compromise, limits write access, supports least privilege, and aligns with secure container platform requirements.
