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.

Logic matters, tools might vary

Do not take the tools we used thus far for granted. Technology changes way too often. By the time you read this, at least one of them will be obsolete. There might be better alternatives. Technology changes with such speed that it is impossible to follow even if we'd dedicate all our time only on evaluation of "new toys."

Processes and logic are also not static nor everlasting. They should not be taken for granted nor followed forever. There's no such thing as best-practice-forever-and-ever. Still, changes in logic happen slower than in tools. It has much higher importance since it lasts longer.

I believe that the logic and processes described in this book will outlive the tools we used. Take that for what it's worth. Explore other tools. Seek for those that better fit your goals. As for me, I haven't even finished...
