## Overview

This repository is a beginner Docker course for AI/ML engineers, not a Docker runtime or application. Its principal learner journey moves from VM and container concepts through Docker images, commands, and Dockerfiles to persistent storage, networking, Compose, and AI workloads, culminating in a mini ML service challenge. The README documents these topics and their order; no source excerpts are available, and the tree alone does not establish how the PDF relates to the README.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/phoptorn/dpu-docker-basic/blob/main/README.md) (Virtual machines)
