Learning Objectives

After this lesson, learners should..

Know what containers are and how they can be useful
Know how to find and use containers created by someone else
Know how to create and share your own containers
Understand how to take the next step in your use of containers

Target Audience

Our target audience is researchers who want to learn how to use containers to help manage computational environments and enhance the reproducibility of their research results. Learners should have some experience with the Unix shell, e.g., from having completed the Software Carpentry lesson, “The Unix Shell”.
