About the course
The Docker Certified Associate (DCA) exam validates practical Docker skills: running containers, building and distributing images, configuring networks and storage, securing the environment and orchestrating services. The DCA programme moved with Docker's enterprise business to Mirantis, which administers the exam today.
The course follows the six areas of the exam blueprint: orchestration, image creation, management and registry, installation and configuration, networking, security, and storage and volumes. You install and configure Docker Engine, write efficient Dockerfiles and multi-stage builds, run and inspect containers, publish images to registries, build overlay networks, manage persistent data with volumes and drivers, use Docker secrets and content trust, and orchestrate services with Docker Swarm. You also see how Kubernetes orchestration fits into the picture, as the exam includes basic Kubernetes concepts.
The exam is booked and taken by you directly with Mirantis. Delivery of the course is live, instructor-led and online.
