  Angular language-specific guide
  The Angular language-specific guide shows you how to containerize an Angular application using Docker, following best practices for creating efficient, production-ready containers.
  Angular
  is a robust and widely adopted framework for building dynamic, enterprise-grade web applications. However, managing dependencies, environments, and deployments can become complex as applications scale. Docker streamlines these challenges by offering a consistent, isolated environment for development and production.
  Acknowledgment
  Docker extends its sincere gratitude to

  What will you learn?
  In this guide, you will learn how to:
  Containerize and run an Angular application using Docker.
  Set up a local development environment for Angular inside a container.
  Run tests for your Angular application within a Docker container.
  Configure a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions for your containerized app.
  Deploy the containerized Angular application to a local Kubernetes cluster for testing and debugging.
  You'll start by containerizing an existing Angular application and work your way up to production-level deployments.
  Prerequisites
  Before you begin, ensure you have a working knowledge of:
  Basic understanding of
  TypeScript
  JavaScript
  Familiarity with
  Node.js
  for managing dependencies and running scripts.
