DESCRIPTION:Scientific tools often require installing different dependencie
 s in a controlled environment. Containers allow you to logically package y
 our application together with libraries and other dependencies\, providing
  isolated environments for running your software services. Containerized a
 pplications can be run in an isolated runtime environment independent of t
 he actual host environment (e.g.\, private data center\, the public cloud\
 , or even a developer’s personal laptop). These are recently gaining pop
 ularity as a standard way to distribute\, deploy\, and run services by dev
 elopers and system administrators. This course will introduce the basic co
 ncepts of containers and their deployment in supercomputing environment at
  CSC.Expected learning in this courseBasic understanding of containers is 
 necessary to work with containerized scientific applications. This course 
 will introduce the fundamentals of containers\, focusing on their deployme
 nt in an HPC environment.In this course\, you will learn:- The essential c
 oncepts of HPC containers- The basics of building and running containers- 
 Deploying containerized applicationsPlease note: This course is aimed to b
 e beginner-friendly and we won't be focusing on advanced topics such as MP
 I and GPU. Pre-requisitesOne should be comfortable working with the comma
 nd line environment in Linux\, be able to use any common editors (e.g.\, v
 i\, nano\, or emacs\, etc.) and have some familiarity with HPC environment
 .So\, the ideal candidates for this course are:- Computational scientists 
 from any discipline - Ones with basic Linux skills and/or basics of HPC en
 vironmentExpected way of learning- Lectures- Hands-on exercisesWe aim to h
 ave lecture and exercise material available two weeks before the course.Pr
 acticalities (More information will be updated here)This is a three half-d
 ay course\, from 9 AM to 12 PMCourse Program:- - Introduction to HPC- Tykk
 y wrapper containerisation- Singularity/Apptainer: The basic usage and ima
 ge building- Docker basics  and its indirect use in HPC - Docker vs. app
 tainer - Containers in R/Jupyter (web interfaces)- Introduction of contai
 ners in bio-workflows  Please use your official e-mail in the registrati
