About this path
This path starts with images and containers and goes on to Dockerfiles, tags and registries, volumes, and networking. You work in a Linux terminal, so you should be comfortable running basic commands there. No earlier Docker experience is needed. The networking module connects containers to each other and to the host, ending with a three-tier network layout.
