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.

Backup strategies

DTR's backup procedure does not result in any service interruption. A backup process can be executed from any of the cluster nodes. It is recommended to create all backups from the same replica. This will help us to recover at least this replica. We will be able to recreate the full DTR's cluster environment using this replica.

The following list shows which content will be stored as part of your DTR's backup TAR file:

  • DTR configurations
  • Repository metadata
  • User access control and repository configurations
  • TLS certificates and keys required for DTR communication
  • Images' signatures and digests, including the integration of Notary
  • Images' scan results

The following content will not be included within your backups:

  • Images' layers
  • Users, teams, and organizations
  • The vulnerability database used for image scanning

Take care of the content of images because users, teams, and organizations will be included in UCP's backup and the vulnerability...
