Containers & Orchestration

4 cheatsheets covering docker, compose, Images, Containers, kubectl and more

Containers package apps into portable units; orchestration keeps them running steadily in a cluster. This category covers Docker and Kubernetes commands for build, run and debug — from single node to cluster. Slim your images whenever you can: smaller means faster pulls and a narrower attack surface.
