The C++ getting started guide teaches you how to create a containerized C++ application using Docker. In this guide, you'll learn how to:

Acknowledgment

Docker would like to thank Pradumna Saraf and Mohammad-Ali A'râbi for their contribution to this guide.

• Containerize and run a C++ application using a multi-stage Docker build
• Build and run a C++ application using Docker Compose
• Set up a local environment to develop a C++ application using containers
• Configure a CI/CD pipeline for a containerized C++ application using GitHub Actions
• Deploy your containerized application locally to Kubernetes to test and debug your deployment
• Use BuildKit to generate SBOM attestations during the build process

After completing the C++ getting started modules, you should be able to containerize your own C++ application based on the examples and instructions provided in this guide.

Start by containerizing an existing C++ application.
