Mastering Docker - Third Edition

Overview of this book

Docker has been a game-changer when it comes to how modern applications are deployed and created. It has now grown into a key driver of innovation beyond system administration, with an impact on the world of web development. But how can you make sure you're keeping up with the innovations it's driving, or be sure you're using it to its full potential? Mastering Docker shows you how; this book not only demonstrates how to use Docker more effectively, but also helps you rethink and reimagine what's possible with it. You will cover concepts such as building, managing, and storing images, along with best practices to make you confident, before delving more into Docker security. You'll find everything related to extending and integrating Docker in new and innovative ways. Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes will help you take control of your containers in an efficient manner. By the end of the book, you will have a broad, yet detailed, sense of what's possible with Docker, and how seamlessly it fits in with a range of other platforms and tools.

Technical requirements

As in previous chapters, we will continue to use our local Docker installations. Also, the screenshots in this chapter will be from my preferred operating system, macOS. Towards the end of the chapter, we will use Docker Machine and VirtualBox to launch a local Docker Swarm cluster.

As before, the Docker commands we will be running will work on all three of the operating systems have installed Docker on so far—however some of the supporting commands, which will be few and far between, may only apply to macOS and Linux based operating system.
