+# LAB01 - DevOps Info Service
+
+## Framework Selection
+Flask 3.0.3 - lightweight framework suitable for simple APIs and microservices.
+
+## Best Practices Applied
+1. Structured logging with timestamps
+2. Error handling for 404/500 responses  
+3. Environment variables for configuration
+4. PEP8 compliant code organization
+
+## API Documentation
+GET / - Service and system information
+GET /health - Health check endpoint
+

+## 1. Docker Best Practices Applied
+
+### Non-root user
+I used a non-root user inside the container to reduce security risks. If the application is compromised it will not have root privileges inside the container.
+
+### Specific base image
+I chose `python:3.13-slim` because it's the official python image with minimal size it makes the container smaller and faster to download.
+
+### Layer caching
+I copied `requirements.txt` before the application code. This allows Docker to cache the dependencies layerr so when I change only my code, Docker doesn't need to reinstall dependencies.
+
+### .dockerignore file
+This file prevents unnecessary files from being copied into the Docker image, which makes builds faster.
+
+## 2. Image Information & Decisions
+
+### Base image choice
+**Image**: `python:3.13-slim`
+**Why**: This is the official Python image that includes only essential packages. The slim version is much smaller than the full Python image.
+
+### Final image size
+REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
+nadiaa02/lab02-python-app latest b232497fb2bb 20 minutes ago 184MB
+
+text
+
+### Layer order importance
+The order matters for Docker caching. If I copy all files first and then install dependencies, every code change would cause Docker to reinstall all dependencies, which takes much longer.
+
+## 3. Build & Run Process

+### Docker Hub repository
+https://hub.docker.com/r/nadiaa02/lab02-python-app
+
+## 4. Technical Analysis
+
+### What happens if layer order changes?
+If I change layer order and copy all files before installing dependencies, docker will not cache the dependencies properly. Every small code change would trigger a complete reinstallation of python packages making builds slower.
+
+### Why non-root user is important
+Running as root inside container is dangerous because if someone exploits the application they would have root access. Using a non-root user limits potential damage.
+
+### How .dockerignore improves builds
+The .dockerignore file tells Docker which files to skip when building the image. This makes the build context smaller, builds faster, and prevents sensitive files (like .env) from accidentally being included.
+
+## 5. Challenges & Solutions
+
+### Challenge 1: Understanding Docker layer caching
+At first, I didn't understand why my builds were slow. I realized I was copying all files before installing dependencies.
+
+**Solution**: I reordered the Dockerfile to copy `requirements.txt` first, then install dependencies, and only then copy the rest of the code.
+
+### Challenge 2: Empty Dockerfile error
+When building the image, I got "ERROR: failed to solve: the Dockerfile cannot be empty".
+
+**Solution**: I checked the Dockerfile and found it was empty. I recreated it with proper content using PowerShell's Out-File command.
