Adds all 8 ROOT 04 modules (why containers exist, images & containers, Docker CLI, container networking, container storage, Dockerfile & image build, Docker Compose, containers → Kubernetes) — 43 activities, using the nested Docker Engine Phase 6D built and tested. Modules 1, 2, and 8 are conceptual (no lab by design) — the honest bridge module (M8) explicitly names what Kubernetes adds beyond what this course already taught, without re-teaching Kubernetes itself. Adds 5 new hands-on Docker scenarios plus 2 MCQs, all against the real nested Docker Engine: docker-cli-basics (run/exec/inspect a real container), docker-container-networking (a genuine "works internally, unreachable from host" port-publishing failure, diagnosed and fixed by recreating the container with the correct `-p` flag), docker-container-storage (a real destroy/recreate cycle proving named-volume persistence, not just described), docker-build-image (a real Dockerfile, a real build, a real custom image run), and docker-compose-multiservice (a real two-service Compose application with a real published port). All tested end-to-end via the real scenario-validation API, including negative tests. Wires rootnode-containers-assessment (2 required + 4 random-draw scenarios) using the existing Phase 3B assessment engine. This completes the entire ROOT_ Foundations sequence (ROOT 01-04) — see docs/PHASE6E_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_COMPLETION.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>

Guided Exercise: Order These Instructions for Maximum Cache Efficiency
This is a paper exercise — commit to an order before checking it in the Lab.
Your task
You need a Dockerfile with these five things, in SOME order. Application code changes very often; dependencies change rarely. Write the most cache-efficient order:
FROM python:3.11-slimCOPY app.py .(your actual application code — changes often)COPY requirements.txt .(dependency list — changes rarely)RUN pip install -r requirements.txt(installs dependencies — slow)WORKDIR /app
A worked shape to check yourself against
FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY app.py .
Copying requirements.txt and installing dependencies BEFORE copying the actual application
code means a code-only change never invalidates the (slow) dependency-install layer — only the
final COPY app.py . step needs to rerun.
Instructor Notes
Facilitation: This is one of the most practically useful habits in the entire module — worth connecting explicitly to real build-time savings on larger, slower dependency installs.
Approximate timing: 8-10 minutes live discussion; 5 minutes self-paced.
