This session is an introduction to Docker, optimized to provide insight on how the container-based model can optimize Drupal development and complement traditional development practices.

Docker images and Dockerfiles make collaborating and ramping up with projects a breeze and drastically reduce the amount of time required to create a working development environment for your Drupal-based projects.

Docksal, an open-source tool, can be leveraged to define and manage your Docker-based development environments. Docksal ensures that all developers are using the same software versions, regardless of their individual environments, and is compatible with macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Attendees are encouraged to have a firm grasp of development workflows, the command line, and a basic understanding of general system administration tasks.
