Introducing Compose commands

Compose has a variety of commands that can be used to interact with containers, monitor applications, and also to manage images.

Throughout this chapter, we shall examine Compose commands, apply them to a target application, break down their usage, and understand how they work behind the scenes.

The commands we will focus on are the following:

• build
• create
• up
• images
• pull
• push
• down
• rm
• logs
• top
• ps
• events

We will learn more about these commands, see how we can benefit from them, and utilize them on a Compose application.
