The course explains the use of Docker to deploy and scale applications in geographic information systems (GIS). Docker enables the creation of isolated environments, called containers, that run independently of the operating system. These containers make it easier to develop, deploy and experiment with GIS tools and data. It will be shown how to use Docker to create a unified software environment for web services and analysis platforms such as Jupyter Notebook to perform spatial analyses efficiently and without extensive software installations. Docker thus ensures a consistent and flexible working environment in the GIS sector.
