Learn Docker – Fundamentals of Docker 17.x: Enhance your software deployment workflow using containers

Everything you need to know to containerize your applications and prepare them to run in production

Key Features

  • Get up and running with basic to advance concepts of Docker
  • Get acquainted with concepts like Docker containers, Docker images, Orchestrators and so on.
  • Practical test-based approach towards learning a prominent containerization tool

Book Description

Docker has entirely changed to picture of software development life-cycle and helped organizations deploy the software at scale. Containerization has gradually taken over the industry and Docker being the best choice, it is becoming the need of every operations engineer, DevOps engineer, system administrator and developer to understand Docker.

This book will start right from scratch, introducing you to the fundamentals of Docker and setting up an environment for working with Docker. Then we will deep dive into concepts like Docker containers, Docker images, Docker Compose and so on. We will also cover the concept of deployment, orchestration, networking, and security. Furthermore, we will be explaining Docker functionalities on public clouds like AWS.

By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience working with Docker containers and orchestrators such as SwarmKit and Kubernetes.

What you will learn

  • Containerize your traditional or modern, microservice based application
  • Share or ship your application as immutable container image
  • Build a Docker swarm and a Kubernetes cluster in the cloud
  • Run a highly distributed application using an orchestrator such as Docker SwarmKit or Kubernetes
  • Update or rollback a distributed application with zero downtime
  • Secure your applications through the use of encapsulation, software-defined networks, and secrets.
  • Know your options when deploying your containerized applications into the cloud
