Overview of this book

Developers have changed their deployment artifacts from application binaries to container images, and they now need to build container-based applications as containers are part of their new development workflow. This Docker book is designed to help you learn about the management and administrative tasks of the Containers as a Service (CaaS) platform. The book starts by getting you up and running with the key concepts of containers and microservices. You'll then cover different orchestration strategies and environments, along with exploring the Docker Enterprise platform. As you advance, the book will show you how to deploy secure, production-ready, container-based applications in Docker Enterprise environments. Later, you'll delve into each Docker Enterprise component and learn all about CaaS management. Throughout the book, you'll encounter important exam-specific topics, along with sample questions and detailed answers that will help you prepare effectively for the exam. By the end of this Docker containers book, you'll have learned how to efficiently deploy and manage container-based environments in production, and you will have the skills and knowledge you need to pass the DCA exam.

Using Interlock to publish applications deployed in Docker Swarm

Interlock is based on the ingress controller's logic described previously. Docker Swarm architecture is different. Its differences are even more pronounced when we talk about Kubernetes and Docker Swarm networking implementations. Kubernetes provides a flat network architecture, as we have seen. Multiple networks within the cluster will add additional security features, but also more complexity.

Interlock substitutes the previous Docker Enterprise's router mesh L7 routing implementation. Router mesh was available in previous UCP releases. Interlock appeared in the 2.0 release of Docker Enterprise.

Interlock will integrate Docker Swarm and Docker Remote API features to isolate and configure dynamically an application proxy such as NGINX or HA-Proxy using extensions. Interlock will use Docker Swarm's well-known objects, such as configs and secrets, to manage proxy required configurations. We will be able to...
