Congratulations on completing the Docker workshop. You've learned how to containerize applications, work with multi-container setups, use Docker Compose, and apply image-building best practices.

Here's what to explore next.

Secure your images

Take your image-building skills to the next level with Docker Hardened Images—secure, minimal, and production-ready base images that are now free for everyone.

What are Docker Hardened Images?\ \ Understand secure, minimal, production-ready base images with near-zero CVEs.

Get started with DHI\ \ Pull and run your first Docker Hardened Image in minutes.

Use hardened images\ \ Learn how to use DHI in your Dockerfiles and CI/CD pipelines.

Explore the DHI catalog\ \ Browse available hardened images, variants, and security attestations.

Build with AI

Docker makes it easy to run AI models locally and build agentic AI applications. Explore Docker's AI tools and start building AI-powered apps.

Docker Model Runner\ \ Run and manage AI models locally using familiar Docker commands with OpenAI-compatible APIs.

MCP Toolkit\ \ Set up, manage, and run containerized MCP servers to power your AI agents.

Build AI agents with Docker Agent\ \ Create teams of specialized AI agents that collaborate to solve complex problems.

Use AI models in Compose\ \ Define AI model dependencies in your Docker Compose applications.

Language-specific guides

Apply what you've learned to your preferred programming language with hands-on tutorials.

Node.js\ \ Learn how to containerize and develop Node.js applications.

Python\ \ Build and run Python applications in containers.

Java\ \ Containerize Java applications with best practices.

Go\ \ Develop and deploy Go applications using Docker.
