Putting your R-code into production using Docker containers

Making a quick script for a model or visual in R is something we do everyday. But what if we have some kind of script, model or visual that we would like to use many times a day or make available in a robust way to many users? That's what production is about!
Nowadays, putting code into production, is a complicated story of containers, pipelines, infrastructure, clusters etc. We are going to learn the basics of how to "containerize" your code for production-ready R-coding using Docker-containers. This skill will make you ready to discuss on how to bring your R-code into production within your IT department or in any cloud-environment. We will work in small groups and go step by step so you are ready to rock your code in production!
