Paperback. DESCRIPTION Docker is impossible to ignore. This lightweight container system is easier to deploy and more flexible than traditional VMs. Built for simplicity and speed, it radically reduces your reliance on manual system administration for tasks like configuring servers, creating disposable (and portable!) development environments, and predictably rolling out applications on unknown systems. While the idea behind Docker is simple, it can have a major impact on how software is developed and deployed. Docker in Practice is a hands-on guide to over 100 specific techniques that can be used to get the most out of Docker. Following a cookbook-style Problem/Solution/Discussion format, this practical handbook offers instantly-useful solutions for important areas like effortless server maintenance and configuration, deploying microservices, creating safe environments for experimentation, and much more. The book takes readers from Docker basics to must-have practices like integrating Docker with Continuous Integration process, automating complex container creation with Chef, and orchestration with Kubernetes. KEY SELLING POINTS Proven strategies for using Docker in dev and CI Covers common and explores two of the most important concepts Goes from development to productionWalks through varied and often surprising use cases for Docker AUDIENCEWritten for developers and devops engineers who have already started their Docker journey and want to use it effectively in a production setting. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGYDocker is one of the fastest-adopted technologies in software, and when the likes of RedHat, Microsoft and VMWare all partner with a startup you know its going to be big. Docker is cheaper, easier, faster, and more powerful than VMs, and it will affect everyone involved in software sooner rather than later.
