Deployment with Docker

Overview of this book

Deploying Docker into production is considered to be one of the major pain points in developing large-scale infrastructures, and the documentation available online leaves a lot to be desired. With this book, you will learn everything you wanted to know to effectively scale your deployments globally and build a resilient, scalable, and containerized cloud platform for your own use. The book starts by introducing you to the containerization ecosystem with some concrete and easy-to-digest examples; after that, you will delve into examples of launching multiple instances of the same container. From there, you will cover orchestration, multi-node setups, volumes, and almost every relevant component of this new approach to deploying services. Using intertwined approaches, the book will cover battle-tested tooling, or issues likely to be encountered in real-world scenarios, in detail. You will also learn about the other supporting components required for a true PaaS deployment and discover common options to tie the whole infrastructure together. At the end of the book, you learn to build a small, but functional, PaaS (to appreciate the power of the containerized service approach) and continue to explore real-world approaches to implementing even larger global-scale services.

Summary


In this chapter, we followed along the history of deployments and looked at how containers with Docker bring us closer to this new world of micro-services. Docker was examined with a high-level overview about which parts we are most interested in. We covered the competition and where Docker fits into the ecosystem with some use cases. Lastly, we also covered when you should - and more importantly, when you shouldn't - consider containers in your infrastructure and development workflow.

In the next chapter, we will finally get our hands dirty and look into how to install and run Docker images along with creating our first Docker image, so be sure to stick around.
