Mastering Docker Enterprise

Overview of this book

While known mostly as the open source engine behind tens of millions of server nodes, Docker also offers commercially supported enterprise tooling known as the Docker Enterprise. This platform leverages the deep roots from Docker Engine - Community (formerly Docker CE) and Kubernetes, but adds support and tooling to efficiently operate a secure container platform at scale. With hundreds of enterprises on board, best practices and adoption patterns are emerging rapidly. These learning points can be used to inform adopters and help manage the enterprise transformation associated with enterprise container adoption. This book starts by explaining the case for Docker Enterprise, as well as its structure and reference architecture. From there, we progress through the PoC,pilot and production stages as a working model for adoption, evolving the platform’s design and configuration for each stage and using detailed application examples along the way to clarify and demonstrate important concepts.The book concludes with Docker’s impact on other emerging software technologies, such as Blockchain and Serverless computing. By the end of this book, you’ll have a better understanding of what it takes to get your enterprise up and running with Docker Enterprise and beyond.

More on Kubernetes with Docker Enterprise

So far in this book, we have focused on Swarm for our orchestration. That was intentional, because it is generally much easier to get started with Swarm, and since Docker Enterprise supports both orchestrators, you can use either or both. In this chapter, we turn our attention to using Kubernetes on the Docker Enterprise platform. With its popularity and rich ecosystem, Kubernetes deployments will likely grow and represent a significant portion of your applications. After getting our first application into production with Swarm, it's time to circle back and take a look at running Kubernetes applications on your Docker infrastructure. In this chapter, we will introduce Kubernetes and walk through examples of deploying applications with it.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Docker Enterprise with Kubernetes...
