Day 20 of 90 Days of DevOps Challenge: Docker Mastery - Crafting The Ultimate Cheat-Sheet!
Finally!! ๐
We've navigated through containers, images, volumes, and networks, and we've gained invaluable insights into Docker and Docker Compose. ๐ Now, itโs time to take our Docker skills to the next level.
Whatโs Next? ๐ ๏ธ
Itโs time to consolidate our learning into a comprehensive cheat-sheet. This cheat-sheet will serve as both a personal reference and a valuable resource for the DevOps community. It will include essential Docker and Docker Compose commands, along with brief explanations of their usage. This resource is not only about showcasing our knowledge but also about contributing to the wider community by providing a practical guide for others.
