In this final chapter of our Getting Started section, we kicked off our Docker Enterprise journey in earnest by building our own environment, where we can run a containerized PoC application. The goal is to be able to demonstrate how Docker Enterprise will run in your environment and what it looks like running one of your own applications.
First, we prepared the environment for the PoC. We started with some PoC nodes on a common network. Then, we prepared each node by installing the Docker Engine, as well as the Docker Enterprise components, consisting of the Universal Control Plane and the DTR. Then, with the PoC environment ready to go, we turned our focus to selecting and containerizing a PoC application.
Selecting a proof-of-concept application can be a little bit tricky. We want to find one that can be containerized without any code refactoring, and at the same...
