I think you would definitely need something on managing the Docker
daemon, though.
I would figure teaching both would be the best.
understood, but i'm thinking of just the first intro day, and for
that, i think just mentioning the difference regarding the docker
deamon would be enough -- a followup course on actual image and daemon
management could get into the consequences of the docker daemon.
i already have a pretty decent outline for that first day and a
sizable collection of online resources, but i'm always open to more
recommendations for online courses or articles that i can incorporate.
