- [Instructor] To prepare for this course
on Docker Orchestration,
I've set up three Ubuntu Linux servers running
inside virtual machines in VMware Fusion
on an Apple Mac system.
This, of course, is just one of the many ways
that you could create a Docker learning environment
to recreate what you see in this course.
In fact, most of the tasks that are performed
in this course could be done on a Windows
or Mac desktop or laptop computer using Docker
for Mac or Docker for Windows.
Another great way to recreate the tasks
that we perform here is to deploy two instances
of Linux on Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure.
To create the local environment that I used in this course,
I used Ubuntu Linux Server and VMware Fusion available
under a no cost evaluation license from VMware's website.
However, you could also recreate the course locally
on your own computer using other hypervisors
like Microsoft Hyper-V.
To deploy docker, we used the freely available
community edition from docker.com.
When we did use VMware Fusion
to run Ubuntu virtual machines,
we assigned each of the virtual machines two virtual CPUs
and two gigabytes of virtual memory
to perform the tasks that are shown in the videos.
To learn how to install Docker on many different platforms
as I just talked about, I encourage you
to check out my course on installing
and configuring Docker in this learning path.
In that course, I also show you how
to create a Linux virtual machine to run Docker
just like we'll be using in this course.
