Overview of this book

Containers enable you to package an application with all the components it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it as one package. Docker containers have revolutionized the software supply chain in both small and large enterprises. Starting with an introduction to Docker fundamentals and setting up an environment to work with it, you’ll delve into concepts such as Docker containers, Docker images, and Docker Compose. As you progress, the book will help you explore deployment, orchestration, networking, and security. Finally, you’ll get to grips with Docker functionalities on public clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and learn about Docker Enterprise Edition features. Additionally, you’ll also discover the benefits of increased security with the use of containers. By the end of this Docker book, you’ll be able to build, ship, and run a containerized, highly distributed application on Docker Swarm or Kubernetes, running on-premises or in the cloud.

Building and pushing an application

We have seen earlier that we can also use the docker-compose build command to just build the images of an application defined in the underlying docker-compose file. But to make this work, we'll have to add the build information to the docker-compose file. In the folder, we have a file, docker-compose.dev.yml, which has those instructions already added. It is basically a copy of the docker-compose.yml file we have used so far:

version: "2.4"
services:
web:
build: web
image: fundamentalsofdocker/ch11-web:2.0
ports:

db:

Please note the build key for each service. The value of that key indicates the context or...
