[TP] Creating My First Container
What you will learn in this TP :
Prerequisites
You must have a machine with Docker installed.Deployment
In this section, we will deploy our first Docker container.-
Find and Download the Image
We will deploy an Apache web server version 2.4.62. We must find a ready-to-use image and download it. -
Deploy the Container
You need to deploy our first container with the following characteristics:- Image: apache version 2.4.62

Container Verification
You must find the command to test the proper functioning of the web server container.WARNING: A running container is not necessarily a functioning container. You must check its logs and outputs.
Optimization
In this section, we will optimize our first Docker container.-
Build a second, lighter container
As mentioned during the courses, official images must be used in priority, especially the most optimal ones. You must choose another, more size-optimized image. -
Compare the disk usage of the two containers
You must find a command that shows only the two containers with their disk usage, knowing that both image names contain 'my-'
