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.

What now?

We did not go deep into metrics and queries. There are too many of them. Listing each metric would be the repetition of the HELP entries that already explain them (even though often not in much detail). More importantly, I believe that the best way to learn something is through a practical usage. We'll use those metrics soon when we start creating alerts, and you will have plenty of opportunities to get a better understanding how they work. The same holds true for queries. They will be indispensable for creating alerts and will be explained in more details in the next chapter. Still, even though we'll go through quite a few metrics and queries, the book will not provide a detailed documentation of every combination you can apply. Querying Prometheus (https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/) is a much better place to learn how queries...
