It's popularity also brings a larger attack surface and thus it is important to understand it's security aspects to be able to protect Docker containers. This course is designed for students with any experience. If you never used Docker, its fine we have covered the basics.

Great, but a couple of references need updating for 2025.

It is kind of good kickoff for starting docker and docker security , but only when you are looking for basics not in depth. Could have included a little bit more important and detailed stuff like - In Docker - 1.>Different important terminologies in dockerfile and how to write one. 2.>Docker networks 3.>Docker Overlay mounts 4.>Runc and containerd In Docker Security - 1.>Some latest CVEs/campaigns on docker exploits 2.>Exploiting containerd and runc 3.>Some more privileged container attacks 4.>Docker forensics : analyzing image tars and evil images

Kinda, it's hard to understand the lecturer's english. On top of that, it would be nice if he could explain a little more the commands he is executing, maybe a little cheatsheet on tools instead of rushing through. It would also be nice if he could explain how to protect against these exploits after showing how to execute them, in a couple of them he took the time to explain the exploits, I am searching on the internet and making a list on how to do it, but I'm not an expert. Edit after completing the course: yes, it can be a little rough on some spots, but after these course I've learned how to make a docker image, how to run a container using that image (or downloading one from safe public repositories), how to modify them to make them more secure. How to hack Docker containers and how to patch common vulnerabilities, what is Claire (security tool for Docker) and how to start using it. And some functionalities that I didn't know of such as Cgroups, namespaces,Seccomp and AppArmor. I recommend this course if you don't know anything about containers, it gives a nice and round picture of docker and docker security. 4/5, we need an Anchore tutorial

Fundamentals of Docker lesson is very good. From small steps to big goal. Vulnerability section is hard to understand what is behind. I had to study different sources to realize the background. Chapter about defences is not prepared well. No resources (json configuration for apparmor or seccomp). You have to type files yourself slowly.
