The Python language-specific guide teaches you how to containerize a Python application using Docker. In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

• Containerize and run a Python application
• Set up a local environment to develop a Python application using containers
• Lint, format, typing and best practices
• Configure a CI/CD pipeline for a containerized Python application using GitHub Actions
• Deploy your containerized Python application locally to Kubernetes to test and debug your deployment

Start by containerizing an existing Python application.
