Important Guidance

Before diving into setting up your local environment, remember that the labs and videos integrated into this course provide a structured and effective learning path. Following these hands-on labs and detailed videos first will ensure you gain a comprehensive understanding, helping you avoid potential distractions.

This article emphasizes the significance of utilizing the provided labs and video sessions. These resources are meticulously designed to enhance your learning experience and build a strong foundation in containerization and orchestration concepts. While it may be tempting to set up your environment immediately, postponing that process until after completing all guided activities will maximize your progress and competence.

Below is an example output from the Docker images command, which showcases several available images:
