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.

Questions

In this chapter, we reviewed container persistency and networking in non-cluster environments. Let's verify our understanding of these topics with some questions:

  1. Which of the following statements is not true?

a) Containers are not ephemeral – once created, they will stay in the host unless they are removed.
b) We can run more than one container at a time using the same image.
c) Containers created from the same image share their filesystems.
d) All of these statements are false.

  1. Which methods are allowed when creating a volume?

a) We can manually create a volume using the docker volume create command for volume objects.
b) We can declare a VOLUME sentence in a Dockerfile to use a volume on containers created from a built image.
c) We can use Docker host filesystems inside containers as if they were Docker volumes.
d) Volume creation is only allowed in terms of container creation or execution.

  1. When we remove a container, all associated volumes will be removed...
