Mastering Docker Enterprise

By: Mark Panthofer

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.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Making the Case for Docker Enterprise, covers the background and platform landscape of the enterprise containers space and where Docker Enterprise fits.

Chapter 2, Docker Enterprise – an Architectural Overview, provides an architectural overview, including budget, benefits, features, and product structure.

Chapter 3, Getting Started – Docker Enterprise Proof of Concept, walks through the setup of a simple PoC cluster, containerizing a simple .NET application, and deploying the application to the PoC cluster.

Chapter 4, Prepare the Docker Enterprise Pilot Cluster, explores important concepts related to setting up a Docker Enterprise pilot cluster and provides important details of a bare-metal installation using CentOS 7.

Chapter 5, Prepare and Deploy a Docker Enterprise Pilot Application, reviews the post-installation configuration of UCP and DTR, describes the containerization an old Java Wiki application, and concludes with the deployment of the Wiki application to our new the pilot cluster.

Chapter 6, Design and Pilot a Docker Enterprise CI Pipeline, describes distributed application design concepts, the containerized development process, and building containers with a Docker CI/CD pipeline.

Chapter 7, Pilot Docker Enterprise Platform Monitoring and Logging, introduces centralized logging and monitoring for our pilot platform and applications.

Chapter 8, First Application in Production with Docker Enterprise, cover the first big step on the production journey, where we present the software supply chain all way to a production cluster.

Chapter 9, Important Docker Enterprise Production Topics, present a final round-up of important Docker Enterprise topics for consideration in production environments.

Chapter 10, More on Kubernetes with Docker Enterprise, walks through the deployment of a Kubernetes application on your Docker Enterprise cluster.

Chapter 11, Taking the Docker Enterprise Platform into the Future, looks at what is in store for your Docker Enterprise cluster.
