DevOps-Containerization

DevOps Fundamentals & Setup (Windows Environment)

---

Overview

This practical session focuses on understanding the foundational concepts of DevOps and containerization using Docker Desktop on Windows. The lab demonstrates Docker installation verification, container execution, Linux interaction inside Docker, and package management differences between Windows and Linux.

---

Tools & Technologies Used

• Windows 11
• Docker Desktop
• Command Prompt (CMD)
• Ubuntu Docker Image
• Git & GitHub

---

Step 1: Verify Docker Installation

docker --version
docker info

---

Step 2: Run Docker Test Container

docker run hello-world

---

Step 3: Windows Package Manager (Comparison)

winget upgrade

---

Step 4: Run Ubuntu Container Interactively

docker run -it ubuntu bash

---

Step 5: Update Packages Inside Ubuntu Container

apt update
apt upgrade -y
exit

---

GitHub Version Control Setup

mkdir DevOps-Lab-Assignments
cd DevOps-Lab-Assignments
mkdir "Class Practical 21 Jan"
cd "Class Practical 21 Jan"
notepad README.md

---

Initialize Git & Push to GitHub

cd ..
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Added Class Practical 21 Jan - DevOps Fundamentals"
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/DevOps-Lab-Assignments.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

---

Result

• Docker successfully installed and verified.
• hello-world container executed successfully.
• Ubuntu container launched interactively.
• Linux package update performed inside Docker.
• Repository pushed to GitHub successfully.
