Presentation Structure
# Effective presentation structure
structure:
- title_slide:
title: "Clear, compelling title"
subtitle: "Context or tagline"
author: "Presenter name"
- agenda:
items: 3-5 main topics
- introduction:
hook: "Attention-grabbing opening"
context: "Why this matters"
- main_content:
sections: 3-5 key points
each_section:
- heading
- 3-5 bullets or visual
- supporting data
- conclusion:
summary: "Key takeaways"
call_to_action: "What to do next"
- closing:
thank_you: true
contact_info: true

Containerization Made Simple

# Agenda
1. What is Docker?
2. Core Concepts
3. Getting Started
4. Best Practices
5. Demo
---
# What is Docker?
- Container platform for packaging applications
- Lightweight alternative to VMs
- "Build once, run anywhere"
- 15M+ developers, 7M+ applications
---
# Why Containers?
| VMs | Containers |
|-----|------------|
| GB size | MB size |
| Minutes to start | Seconds to start |
| Full OS | Shared kernel |
---
# Core Concepts
- **Image**: Blueprint/template
- **Container**: Running instance
- **Dockerfile**: Build instructions
- **Registry**: Image storage (Docker Hub)
---
# Getting Started
Pull an image
docker pull nginx
Run a container
docker run -p 8080:80 nginx
List containers
docker ps
---
# Your First Dockerfile
FROM node:18 WORKDIR /app COPY package*.json ./ RUN npm install COPY . . EXPOSE 3000 CMD ["npm", "start"]
---
# Best Practices
- Use official base images
- Minimize layers
- Don't run as root
- Use.dockerignore
- Multi-stage builds
---
# Summary
✅ Docker simplifies deployment ✅ Containers are lightweight & fast ✅ Easy to get started ✅ Industry standard
