Docker Advanced Workflows

Trigger

Use this skill when:

• Designing multi-stage build pipelines for production images
• Implementing sidecar containers alongside a primary service
• Configuring healthchecks for containers or compose services
• Setting up init containers or entrypoint scripts
• Handling process signals and graceful shutdown in containers
• Copying files between containers and the host during development
• Monitoring container resource usage in real time
• Updating container resource limits without restarting

Required Inputs

• The use case: pipeline design, sidecar setup, healthcheck config, signal handling, resource tuning
• Language/runtime of the containerized application (affects signal handling and healthcheck commands)
• Whether the workload is development or production (affects patterns and strictness)
