The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit and The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the Docker technology as he records his journey to explore two new programs, self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker. The DevOps 2.2 Toolkit: Self-Sufficient Docker Clusters is the latest book in Viktor Farcic’s series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book in the series looks at Docker, the tool designed to make it easier in the creation and running of applications using containers. In this latest entry, Viktor combines theory with a hands-on approach to guide you through the process of creating self-adaptive and self-healing systems. Within this book, Viktor will cover a wide-range of emerging topics, including what exactly self-adaptive and self-healing systems are, how to choose a solution for metrics storage and query, the creation of cluster-wide alerts and what a successful self-sufficient system blueprint looks like. Work with Viktor and dive into the creation of self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker.

Securing services

There's not much reason to secure internal services that do not publish any ports. Such services are usually intended to be accessed by other services that are attached to the same internal network. For example, the go-demo stack deploys two services. One of them is the db service that can be accessed only by the other service from the stack (main). We accomplished that by having both services attached to the same network and by not publishing any ports.

The main objective should be to secure communication between clients outside your cluster and services residing inside. We usually accomplish that by adding SSL certificates to a proxy and, potentially, disabling HTTP communication. Docker Flow Proxy makes that an easy task. If you haven't set up your SSL, you might want to explore Configuring SSL Certificates (http://proxy.dockerflow.com/certs/) tutorial...
