Uso de contenedores Docker en el entorno educativo

The use of different software programs in the realization of laboratory practices usually entails problems for both teachers and students, due to the fact of carrying out the installation and maintenance of the programs, which sometimes tend to present compatibility problems derived from updates. This article proposes the use of Docker, a tool that provides an execution environment that contains all the programs to be used in a practice, thus facilitating the generation of learning environments. Moreover, this work presents a real experience in the use of the aforementioned tool carried out over three courses in a subject with practical exercises in the field of Telecommunications and Information Technologies, detailing the advantages and drawbacks that the use of Docker has meant for both faculty and students.
