Overview of this book

The Spring Framework is an application framework and inversion of the control container for the Java platform. The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions to build web applications on top of the Java EE platform. This book will help you implement the microservice architecture in Spring Framework, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud. Written to the latest specifications of Spring, you'll be able to build modern, Internet-scale Java applications in no time. We would start off with the guidelines to implement responsive microservices at scale. We will then deep dive into Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Docker, Mesos, and Marathon. Next you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploy autonomous services, server-less by removing the need to have a heavy-weight application server. Later you will learn how to go further by deploying your microservices to Docker and manage it with Mesos. By the end of the book, you'll will gain more clarity on how to implement microservices using Spring Framework and use them in Internet-scale deployments through real-world examples.

Chapter 8. Containerizing Microservices with Docker

In the context of microservices, containerized deployment is the icing on the cake. It helps microservices be more autonomous by self-containing the underlying infrastructure, thereby making the microservices cloud neutral.

This chapter will introduce the concepts and relevance of virtual machine images and the containerized deployment of microservices. Then, this chapter will further familiarize readers with building Docker images for the BrownField PSS microservices developed with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Finally, this chapter will also touch base on how to manage, maintain, and deploy Docker images in a production-like environment.

By the end of this chapter, you will learn about:

  • The concept of containerization and its relevance in the context of microservices

  • Building and deploying microservices as Docker images and containers

  • Using AWS as an example of cloud-based Docker deployments
