🚀 Next Steps

Now that you’ve set up Docker Hub authentication and stored your credentials securely, you’re ready to proceed with building Docker images.

Choose Your Docker Build Path

You have two options for building Docker images:

Option 1: Docker Build Local

The traditional approach using your local machine’s resources.

  • Free to use
  • Works offline
  • No subscription required

Continue with Docker Build Local →

Option 2: Docker Build Cloud

The cloud-based approach for faster builds.

  • Accelerated build times
  • Reduced local resource usage
  • Requires Docker Pro/Team/Business subscription

Continue with Docker Build Cloud →

What You’ll Learn Next

Regardless of which path you choose, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create Dockerfiles for multi-stage builds
  • Build optimized container images
  • Run and test containerized applications
  • Implement caching strategies for faster builds
  • Push images to Docker Hub

Later in the Workshop

After completing the Docker build sections, you’ll continue with:

  • AWS CodePipeline integration
  • Docker Scout for security scanning
  • ECS deployment
  • End-to-end CI/CD pipeline setup
