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.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at a few different workflows for Docker along with how to get some monitoring for your containers and Docker hosts up and running.

The best thing you can do when it comes to your own environment is building a proof of concept and trying as hard as you can to cover every disaster scenario you can think of. You can get a head start by using the container services provided by your cloud provider or by looking for a good reference architecture, which should all limit your trial and error.

In the next chapter, we are going to take a look at what your next step in the world of containers could be.
