This lab documents the successful installation and validation of Docker Engine within a Linux-based environment, targeting core competencies expected of a DevOps Engineer.
Technical Milestones
- Provisioned and configured an Ubuntu-based system environment
- Deployed Docker Engine with systemd service management
- Validated container runtime and daemon operations
- Performed image acquisition and management via Docker Hub registry
- Executed a containerized workload ("hello-world") to verify runtime behavior
- Inspected container lifecycle, including initialization and termination states
This lab establishes foundational experience in container runtime environments and image lifecycle management.
Next Phase
- Building custom Docker images using Dockerfiles
- Running multi-container workloads and simulating deployment pipelines
