Requirements
Welcome to the ultimate project-based course on Docker for AI/ML Engineers.
Whether you’re a machine learning enthusiast, an MLOps practitioner, or a DevOps pro supporting AI teams — this course will teach you how to harness the full power of Docker for AI/ML development, deployment, and consistency.
What’s Inside?
This course is built around hands-on labs and real projects. You’ll learn by doing — containerizing notebooks, serving models with FastAPI, building ML dashboards, deploying multi-service stacks, and even running large language models (LLMs) using Dockerized environments.
Each module is a standalone project you can reuse in your job or portfolio.
What Makes This Course Different?
- Project-based learning: Each module has a real-world use case — no fluff.
- AI/ML Focused: Tailored for the needs of ML practitioners, not generic Docker tutorials.
- MCP & LLM Ready: Learn how to run LLMs locally with Docker Model Runner and use Docker MCP Toolkit to get started with Model Context Protocol
- FastAPI, Streamlit, Compose, DevContainers — all in one course.
Projects You’ll Build
- Reproducible Jupyter + Scikit-learn dev environment
- FastAPI-wrapped ML model in a Docker container
- Streamlit dashboard for real-time ML inference
- LLM runner using Docker Model Runner
- Full-stack Compose setup (frontend + model + API)
- CI/CD pipeline to build and push Docker images
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
- Standardize your ML environments across teams
- Deploy models with confidence — from laptop to cloud
- Reproduce experiments in one line with Docker
- Save time debugging “it worked on my machine” issues
- Build a portable and scalable ML development workflow
