Understanding Docker: part 49 – Docker Compose (2025)

Understanding Docker can be difficult or time-consuming. In order to spread knowledge about Cloud technologies I started to create sketchnotes about Docker. I think it could be a good way, more visual, to explain Docker (and other technologies like Kubernetes and Istio).

We continue the series of Docker sketchnotes with a focus on Docker compose included all the latest features: publish compose file as an OCI artifact and use it, transform compose files to Kubernetes manifests, providers usage like from Docker Model Runner...

As usual, if you like theses sketchnotes, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think. I will publish others sketchs shortly :-).

If you are interested, I published the book in a paperbook version on Amazon: Understanding Docker in a visual way and also in a PDF/ebook version on GumRoad.

If you are also interested in Kubernetes, the book Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way is available also.
