Overview/Description
Docker containers can be customized and clustered to effectively manage Dockerization of applications. Custom metadata can be used for labeling and creating data structures. Docker clusters can be used to group a pool of Docker hosts into a single virtual host. In this course, you learn about custom meta data, Docker Compose, Docker Clustering and Swarm, Docker Swarm filters, and Docker Swarm strategies.

Target Audience
This path is designed for software developers, testers, and administrators or anyone interested in learning Docker or implementing Docker-based deployments in their organization.
