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-slim`
|
|
- `COPY 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.
